Dec 12 - Disembark in Budapest

Dec 12: We got up early and packed. That didn't take too long and we headed to breakfast in the dining room. We didn't see any of our traveling companions, so I guess they are all off the ship. We will stay in the longe until the light lunch and then head to our hotel. We cannot check in until 2p. 

We checked into the hotel unpacked, rested a little bit, played some cards, and then headed out to Peter Doyle's Pub. We were really hungry for fish and chips, since what we had on the ship was not very tasty. It's a crowded fun place, and we sat down at one of the few tables left. Immediately, we were talking with a nice young couple Sam and Eve from the UK, they live in or near Sheffield. They wanted to buy us a Mini Guinness. That is a shot with Kalua and a floating of Bailey's Irish cream. We each in each up treating for a round! We exchanged information and promised to visit... We'll see.

Heading back to the hotel, we stopped and bought wine and snacks in a shop nearby. We played cards and then finally called it a night. 

About the area around LA Prima Fashion Hotel: it is a fun and lively area. It's very walkable with many pedestrian streets. There are many restaurants all around us. In addition, there are little shops galore. On the evening walk back, it looked so festive with little flame heaters everywhere and a lot of people eating outside, believe it or not! Too cold for us!
