I have always believed the old quote, “There is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” So when Yvonne came up with the idea of a boat trip out of Budapest to Szentendre, I was all over it.
Szentendre is a quaint village about an hour and a half up the Danube from Budapest. Ninety minutes up, but only an hour back because you are going with the flow coming home. The village itself is like a moment cut from time. More 17th century than 21st. Cobblestone streets. The standard tourist shops. Yvonne found a great little jewelry place with some real deals. We had delicious Hungarian cuisine and admittedly a pizza while relaxing in a restaurant and gazing at the Danube. Perfect weather. A wonderful relaxing day. So why were we so tired when we got back? Sometimes taking it easy is hard.
