We stayed at the K+K Opera, our second stay at a K+K hotel (we stayed in one in Prague a few years back) and we were very pleased. One night we did have a power outage, but since we had already gotten a good seat at the bar before the lights went out it was a nice couple of fun hours.The oldest subway line is so beautiful you have to see it to believe it. It's like a little toy train.
We made the trek out to Monument Park, where they have several Soviet era statues on display.
We celebrated my 45th birthday with dinner at the Four Season's Peacock restaurant. An amazing view of the Chain Bridge by night and of course great food and impeccable service.
The highlight moment of the trip was when we went to see the ruins of the anciet Roman city Acquincum on the outskirts of the city center. We got there and of course it was closed for the season. We did visit the museum and met up with an Argentine music teacher touring Europe on summer break. On the way back to the train to head back to town, the three of us decided to walk the long way around and stare through the fence.It was then that a man came at us from the other side of the fence. At first we thought we were going to be in trouble, but instead he asked us if we wanted to visit the ruins. When we explained our predicament, he arranged for us to be his guests and left us to spend as much as
time we wanted to tour the ruins.When it was time to head home, though we were bummed to end the vacation, we enjoyed the idea that it would be a 2-hour flight and home was London! It was like the vacation would never end.
