Budapest and Prague Christmas Lights...

Arrived home a few hours ago to be greeted with 4 inches of fresh snow...A dream scene for me, of course!

Had a great time in Budapest and Prague...

The weather was very mild which brought out the crowds by their thousands, which in turn made for an exciting atmosphere in both cities.

Will only post pictures this week so you can enjoy the lovely scenes.

Can't believe I did this! I had a hot mulled wine and that potato roll thing for breakfast the other morning!

Leaving for Budapest...Very mild weather...

Inside the lovely new little train to Fuzesabony!

There is the new train...cute as!

Heading off to see 2 cities of Xmas lights...

OK...the broom plays like a type of guitar! I told the guy that he may play his broom, but I ride mine!!! He only looked surprised.
