So Saturday we went on a hop on hop off bus tour of the city. Which I was quite enjoying and hearing about the history of the city etc... Evelyn was being quite good but Ben was hating every minute of it. So 2/3 of the way through we got off at the Citadella on the Buda side and walked around the old fort and enjoyed the view.
We had lunch up there on a patio and then instead of taking the bus anymore we walked ALL the way the down the mountain to the river and walked along the river on the Buda side and then walked across the Chain Bridge and all the way home.
Then we went out for dinner with a bunch of people Ben works with. Some of them from England I knew from when they worked on Hugo together. It was an early night to bed though I was exhausted.
Sunday we went to brunch with Demetri, his wife and kids which was good. Then we came home for a little nap and got ready for our afternoon out to the baths! We headed out at about 2:30 to the Szechenyi Bath which is near Hero Square and the zoo, and a few museums5. We walked there which took about 45 mins. Seriously all this walking has taken off those last couple of lbs that were clinging on from winter.....
The baths were amazing, Evelyn showed off what a good little swimmer she is and I had a great time enjoying all the pools and the water jets. And I got a massage, which was really lovely after sleeping in these beds all week. Ben took Evelyn home early I stayed later to really soak it all in.
I came home and then we got ready for dinner we out to a cute little place Ben likes and had a dinner of tapas which was very good and in a nice quiet place. Came home and gave miss Evelyn a bath and then we all went to bed around 11 or so.
Evelyn just squawked once for a bottle around 4am and went right back to sleep until 8:30am. Of course it would happen that the 2 days just before leaving Budapest we are FINALLY adjusted to the time zone and not feeling like total shit anymore! Oh gawd I just dread the week at home and trying to change her back......
So we never did make it to the Opera House yet..... we are going to try for today! Fingers crossed..... And I was not able to go to the Terror Museum. It's closed today and I just didn't get round to it :( I could have easily spent another week here. Not a whole lot longer but another week yes. If I didn't have Evelyn with me, then I could have gone and seen everything but that's okay traveling with a baby is not as carefree and certainly anything but quick.

So this is my last day. I leave on a plane from Budapest at some horrible hour like 6:30am to Frankfurt.
It's going to be very difficult to say goodbye to Ben. Things for England are a bit up in air again. And I do not know when we will see each other again. Lots of tears today.
