Finding British Food in an American Grocery Store (2024 Update)
Today we are experiencing Budapest by taking you along on a Budapest food tour, tasting iconic Hungarian street foods for the first time. We start our day trying the famous strudel, rétes, with a poppy seed filling. We also sample some traditional langos (fried dough with sour cream and cheese). We visit a butcher shop to try Hungarian blood sausage, liver sausage, and paprika sausage, before trying a delightful cinnamon chimney cake fresh from the oven. Then we sampled a unique dumpling called túrógombóc made with potato dough and fresh cheese (recommended by our friends who are locals) . We end our day with classic Hungarian dishes like chicken paprikash and stuffed cabbage at a restaurant overlooking the Basilica. Have a recommendation for a food we should try?

We started our daying taking in the views from Fisherman's Bastion and crossed the famous Chain Bridge. We found quirky sites like the Michael Jackson memorial tree and tried traditional Hungarian dishes like goulash. We discovered the unique ruin bars in the Jewish Quarter and tried the potent Hungarian fruit brandy pálinka. We marveled at the magnificent St. Stephen's Basilica before meeting up with friends for a fun craft beer tasting. Budapest was full of surprises and delights that left us shocked by this pearl of the Danube.

Things We Miss About the UK as Americans
It's our first time in Germany and we are taking a road trip through Bavaria, spending 3 incredible days exploring the Bavarian Alps region. We visit the fairy tale-like Neuschwanstein Castle, hike through the stunning Leutasch Gorge, and discover the charming town of Mittenwald, with its beautiful Lüftlmalerei murals. Our final day takes us to one of Germany's tallest peaks, where we take a cable car ride up to the top with stunning views before spending the afternoon in Oberammergau. Throughout the trip, we savor regional treats like Obatzda, pretzels, and hunt for Kaiserschmarrn pancakes. From iconic castles to quaint alpine towns, natural wonders to unique architecture, we have completely fallen in love with Bavaria and can't wait to return. Have a suggestion for a future trip?
