Day 8: Budapest - the creme cake
Our Hungarian host Gabor clearly took pride in his hometown providing us with great advice on things to see and do. The first night he directed us to a restaurant that was fantastic and also told us we had to go to the island because "everyone was going to be there." The island was in the middle of the Danube River and, yes, it seemed like the entire city was there filling the pubs and beer gardens that lined the river banks - a very cool and lively scene. If that weren't enough, we were completely convinced that Gabor knew what he was talking about when we tried the highly recommended creme cake. He was very specific saying other restaurants offered it but we had to go to place in the old city near the main cathedral. Gabor couldn't have been more spot on. The creme cake was phenomenal! It had a consistency between a cheese cake and a custard or pudding with a thin crust on the top and bottom. It was divine! We all agreed that a dessert empire could be built on this delectable delight. Bonus: Down the street from the creme cake cafe, the main cathedral was gorgeous - a feast for the eyes.
