On a rainy day, we took our umbrellas and headed off for Stare Mesta - Old Town in Prague. Charming narrow streets paved with cobblestones. The rain slacked up, and we looked through some of the glass shops, and an open air market. After lunch, the rain picked up again, so we decided to head home. This was our last day in Prague.
The next morning, we were picked up and taken to the train station for our transfer to Budapest. We had to schlep our bags more than we would've liked in the train station, but eventually got settled, and had a nice 6-hour train ride through the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary.
Our smooth transfer in Budapest landed us at our nice apartment on a busy street in Pest - centrally located near the river, the main transfer Metro station, St. Stephen's Basilica. Our 5-story building was an old one, with a locked door leading into a courtyard. The apartment had been recently redone, very contemporary, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, kitchen/eating area, and a washer/dryer. We had been planning for this one, and started the first load of wash that night before we left for our orientation meeting at a nearby cafe. After the meeting and dinner, we spent a long time trying to get the dryer to work. It never did, though, and we wound up hanging our wash to dry on a drying rack in the living room. It worked!
Today's pictures are of a rainy day in Prague, and a wonderful painted building in the Stare Mesta.
