Long day today but although we haven't had much physical activity we are both more tired than if we walked 100 miles.
Caught the train at Prague which is an interesting station, although there is this impressive, if neglected huge building, all the action happens underground. The train left on time and travelled out of Czech Republic, through Slovakia and into Hungary. Each border we went through, our tickets had to be presented again and new train crew worked for the section of their country. The locomotive was changed twice also. It was nice watching the countryside go by, especially from the restaurant car when we had lunch. I don't know if there was a problem with the locos or not but we were a hour late getting into Budapest.
A taxi took us through peak hour traffic to the Hotel Zara which is on the Pest side just up from the river, so it will be nice and handy when we board the boat. Had tea at the hotel and are now ready for bed. Will have a look around town tomorrow.
