I had been scouring your blog since I discovered it a few months ago for information and you were very helpful! We attended the International Budapest Wine Festival at Buda Castle. What a treat that was. I understand why you so love it, it is a wonderful beautiful city with lovely warm people. Four days was nowhere near enough. Hope to return.
