I've been on hiatus for a while due to a quick business trip to Germany and then a longer action-packed trip to Bratislava and Budapest with my older brother, sister-in-law, and two nieces (ages 12 and 13).
The two Bs, Bratislava and Budapest, were lovely cities, full of castles, great architecture (both old and communist era), good food, and tourists.
Budapest was scorching. I don't know what the daytime temperatures were, but it was over 30 degrees when we went out for dinner each night around 8 pm. Luckily we were staying at the Gellert Hotel,an institution in Budapest, and made good use of the baths there. I particularly enjoyed swimming in the "effervescent pool" which was surrounded by Greek columns.
Somehow my nieces (and the lure of those columns) got me up earlier each day on my vacation to swim laps then I do to go to work. However, the novelty has worn off for them; it is now nearly 10 am and they are both still asleep. So much for H's resolution to get up early every day.
We're back in Krakow now - I'm tanned, tired, and happy.
More on our exploits later.

We stayed at the Gellert too, wasn't it nice? I'm wondering how did you managed to find vegetarian food over there, don't remember seeing anything vegetarian in the menus there...
