Buda and Pest






We spent the following week relaxing in beautiful Budapest. It is actually two cities (Buda and Pest- pronounced Pesht by Hungarians) divided by the Danube. The parliament building is probably the most recognizable- stunning architecture! Budapest is known for its thermal baths- many of which are in buildings from Ottoman days. We went to 2 Turkish spas, the famous Gellért (gorgeous mosaic tile decorate the inside) and the more recent Széchenyi, with phenomenal outside pools. Both were beautiful and relaxing.
