Blogging in Budapest!

I left my house for the airport at 2pm and our plane took off pretty much on time from Canada at 5:30pm on Wednesday April 13th. We are here until Tuesday April 26th. Ben is currently filming a movie called 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves. In May the production will be returning to England to film and we were join for a few weeks. But for right now we are having a little visit. So adventures in England is currently Adventures in Budapest.

Our 7 hour flight to Frankfurt was uneventful. Thankfully Evelyn fell asleep before the wheels of the planes had even left the runway and slept the whole first 2 hours of the flight. This allowed me to watch a movie and eat my dinner without interruption. Evelyn then woke up and played a little and she ate and then went back to sleep for the last 90 mins of the flight including all the descent. At 1am 'ish we had to get off our plane. (German time was now 6 hours ahead the same time zone as Budapest) and go through security and passport control in Germany and board a tiny little HORRIBLE airplane bound for Budapest that whole experience and going down MANY MANY flights of stairs being exhausted with a little cranky person who wants to be sleeping.... UGG.... FInally loaded on the plane and both Evelyn fell asleep right away did not wake up until the plane was bouncing along the runway.

In Budapest we collected our baggage and didn't have to go any passport control (?) we just walked out and there was our driver waiting for us with a sign. He helped load all our bags and drove us to our apartment. I will take photos of our apartment today and our immediate surroundings and post them later.

We got into the apartment I drank some juice and gave Evelyn a bottle and we fell into bed for a rough 3 hour nap. It was early afternoon when we got to the apartment and around 6pm when we woke up got up, I fed Evelyn some cereal & another bottle and unpacked alittle.

Ben came home around 7:30pm from work and we went out at 8:30 pm for Italian food and I had some really good pizza. After traveling for almost 24 hours with an almost 1 year old (from the time we left our house until we got to our apt in Budapest) pizza and wine was exactly what I needed. We came home I fed Evelyn some mixed fruit & veggies and then gave her a bath and a bottle and we all went to bed around 11:30pm.

Right now it is 6:30am in Budapest. I have been awake since 5am. I have showered and made tea and had leftover pizza for breakfast. And I am now totally unpacked into the apartment.

Today is just about exploring the immediate neighborhood, finding the pharmacy, corner store and that sort of stuff. The weather here is cold and rainy today about 10 degrees. But looks sunny and in the high teens beginning on Sunday.

Okay that's it for now!
