With our arrival in Budapest, we left the cleaner, tidier and, to my taste, less intriguing Central/Western Europe behind. It was a we're-not-in-Kansas-anymore moment and I was loving it. A lot of my recent travels have been to places a little more off the beaten path. On first impression, Budapest was giving more of that vibe. The train station was huge, grand and more than a bit shabby. It had the feel of a Communist relic. Although I was a bit concerned about my fellow travelers' reaction to our new environs, I was thinking, "OK. Now, we're getting somewhere!"
