Day12

We had another great day in Budapest.  We had a somewhatt plan this Sunday and it started with a toour of the largest synogogue in the city.....very crowded and a touching story of the torture and extermination of the Jews under the Nazis.  Our guide was a little girl back then and remembered alot.  The building was gorgeous too.  Then we headed up town to the Parliment to see the Crown Jewels and a gorgeous building and when we arrived a sign told it all.......No more tickets for today.

So we  ate a nice lunch in the nearby park and headed off to the House of Horror.  Theaddress where the Secret Police was located during the Communist control of  the country.  It was a great exhibit telling an incredible story of Hungary under the Nazis and then the Russians.....we will fill you in on the details but in short.....they were between a rock and another rock!!!!  They suffereed incredibly for 50 years!!!

We of course had to stop for a beer on the way home and dinner was at a nearby restaurant.  It was recommended by our hotel person and it really was good.  WE had more Hungarian food, each time different but fun.  This time we stuck to beer and not wine (we had wine the night before and over did it as usual).  Another great walk home and to bed early because AGAIN, we had to be up early for our flight to Krakow.
