Today we got up early and ventured out to the Gellert Thermal baths, located on the Buda side. Mentions of the water from the springs there can be found in records as early at the 15th century. The hotel and bath were opened in 1918. Hopefully we’ll both feel like teenagers tomorrow! The style of . . . read more
Today’s adventure was all about lunch at Kéhli Vendéglő. It is about a 5 mile walk from our apartment so it was a great way to get in a 10 mile walk. The walk took us to the Buda side for the first time. To get there we crossed the Liberty Bridge. It is the . . . read more

Our next Switzerland stop, Davos, was a feast for the eyes. The most common thought I had while hiking around was that it was like the most perfect postcard picture. The greens were so vivid, the air was crisp and clean and the sound of the burbling streams was relaxing. Our first hike was 13.55 . . . read more
There was so much good food in Zurich. Some from touristy restaurants and others from local places. The first place we went to was in the old town. We arrived before the hotel check in time so we just checked our bags and headed out exploring. We were both a bit hangry so wanted to . . . read more
