Day Three: Beszél angolul?

Well today got off to a slow start - by the time we got up and said goodbye to our new friends from the hostel, it was noon. They gave us some great traveling tips for Turkey and Asia. Hopefully we will be able to accumulate similar sorts of information throughout our trip.

Once we started out, we decided to look for the Childrens Railroad museum in the buda hills. On foot, it took over 4 hours to finally get there, always relying on the phrase, Beszél angolul?, with a Koszonom to find our way. As promised by Laura, we rode through the beautiful hills, watching the small children who ran the train salute as we passed each station. Dont worry, we have pictures. It only took maybe an hour to get back as we decided to test out the trams. And here we are ready for a full day of biking in the buda hills again tomorrow. This time we plan on visiting a cave and exploring Margarite Island in the middle of the Danube river in the afternoon. On tuesday we were thinking of heading up the Danube bend towards the north to hunt out another part of Hungarys past.
