Day 7: Budapest (The Quick Version)

We spent the day in and around Budapest. We toured the various sites of the city, including lots of famous buildings and the Heroes Square. We also went for a boat ride on the Danube river (no Yuri and Roman this time, unfortunately).

We had a delicious three-course supper at the Carmel restaurant, and then went to the Budapest Intercontinental (yes, there really is an Intercontinental Hotel in Budapest, believe it or not) to hear Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis speak, which turned out to be arguably the highlight of our day.

After that, we boarded the bus for the final time: to head back to the airport. Akiva would not be accompanying us back to Israel; he was flying to Uman to direct a tour group there.

Goodbye, Eastern Europe!
