Today, for Parker's birthday we went on a little adventure! First, we drove to a place not too far from our house and caught a Cog train. We took the Cog train up, up, up to the Budapest Children's Railway. Here, we got on the Children's railway (called that because it's really run by kids...with a few adults around to help out!) and rode up, up, up to a stop on Janos hegy (John's Hill). 
We were headed to Erzsebet Look out tower, which we can see from our house in Budakeszi, but didn't really know what it was. When we got off the train, there was a path, with stairs and it went up, up, up to the top of Janos hegy. I honestly did not think I was going to make it! Whew! We walked and we walked and we walked...UP HILL for a long time. (seriously people, they should post somewhere that this is NOT a leisurely little hike!) Then we came to a playground where we rested for a bit and then we walked and walked until finally we were at the top! What a view! It was worth all the huffing and puffing it took to get to the top!
Then, we had to walk back down, catch the train, the tram and the subway to get to Nagyi Palascinta...the yummy pancake house where we enjoyed our well deserved lunch of sweet and savory pancakes! YUM! All-in-all I think it was a great birthday adventure for Parker! (My legs are going to HURT tomorrow!)
