Thanks everyone for your comments. My individual responses are below:

NewWrldYankee: You have a lot of inspirational fodder in your neighborhood.

Nicole: It’s never our intent to make our friends cry, but we understand. Czech banking fees, “neni mozne”, foreigner’s police – does that make you feel a bit better?

Lori: Vienna is a great city. During our first visit in the winter of 1998, we almost dismissed it, perhaps because it was 0 degrees and our faces nearly fell off due to the cold. But we grew to love it, having returned over a dozen times across all the seasons (and Christmas).

Suzanne: They did have a llama (or a few). Am still laughing…

soultravelers3: Criss-crossed paths. Such is the life of world travel. Happy and safe travels to your family.

Melanie: If our experience was any indication, late autumn in Hungary is great. If you go in August and music is your thing, check out the Sziget music festival.

Steven: I think you’ll find some people in Prague, Vienna, Berlin and Bratislava that might take issue with your assertion

Budapest is the best of course!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Audrey, I’ll bring the tokaj, you bring the stories — I could hear about Hungary all day long, and someday my husband and I are going to get there! Sounds like Fall is the perfect time to go.

Thanks for sharing your impressions and your beautiful photos. Hooray for traveling with your significant other and making the journey such a work of art! Here’s to the exquisite architecture you’ve seen and the schlag you’ve inhaled…

I’m just about to check where you’re going next, so I can virtually follow you!

Love the photos as always! We have spent many months in these areas and love them too! I think we are actually crossing paths today as we are in NYC for a day waiting for our red eye flight back to Paris and onto Spain for the winter.

We did miss Hungary and Romania last year due to my ending up in the hospital in Vienna, but looking forward to catching up with them this year. We just stayed at a spectacular B&B in Denver ( Castle Marne) with a host who was Hungarian. Such a wonderful family & the food was so scrumptious that we are even more anxious to check out Hungary this summer!

Hey guys,

Seeing the link to the Christmas markets post makes me wish I was in Prague or Brno (awwww) drinking svarak and hanging out in staromestke namesti. Always got a kick out of the animal pen. Am I crazy or did they have a llama one year?

These are absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Vienna is our favorite city in the world so far. My husband studied one summer and we went back this year. I don’t know what it is about it, I just love everything it has to offer. Oh, the Heurigers are so amazing. No place I’d rather be on a summer afternoon! I can’t wait to go sometime in the fall/winter to experience the season.

It’s not nice to make your friends weep from envy on a Monday morning. It’s just not.
