On the way had a nice light breakfast with a

The taxi ride was adventurous - and the driver wasn’t exactly honest - but we got to the hotel in one piece.

We did go to lunch and had delicious sandwiches. Any my first ever Hungarian beer. Which was decidedly odd given where and how long I have traveled for work and play.
