Once we were on the road, we managed to stay dry and avoid the rain. We did see the highights of Budapest and learned so much about their history. To begin with, both Austria and Hungary have recently signed an agreement where no documents are required to cross; they call it a hi-bye border. However, the government continues to closely monitor the work force as they are trying to avoid a "dumping" workforce that would negatively impact the economy of Austria. It seems that Hungary has yet to catch up with the title they held many years ago as the Paris of the East. It surely had shops galore and the most beautiful embroidered table clothes you could see!!!
The first stop was up to the Captial Hill, on the original Buda side at the Royal Palace. From here the view of the united city, Budapest, is amazing!!!
