We rested up from the trip to Budapest. It was our first time inside a former Iron Curtain country. People are wonderful but the city can be a little depressing after 40 years of communism. As a fellow in a bar told us, “They pretended to pay us, and we pretended to work”. So things fell apart or were poorly constructed. We think it appeared progress is being made.
Later in the afternoon, we went out to try a Sacher Torte at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna. I'm not sure why it is so special. It IS a good chocolate cake but I wouldn't say it is exceptional.
The story of the world-famous Original Sacher-Torte began in 1832, by Franz Sacher - a soft and fluffy chocolate cake with the tasty apricot jam under the icing.
Some pics of excavation being done in the subway – a church located actually under the St. Stephen Cathedral. It is always amazed at what they discover when building and expanding subways.
