Day 18: 21st June. Szentendre. Transit into Romania

Our Journey took us today from the little town of Szentendre (St. Andrew) and then by train into the Gare du Nord at Bucharest.
It promised to be a long and eventful journey, and it was.

First Szentendre: This little town north of the Danube from Budapest promised to be one of those little hidden jewels set along the Danube awaiting our discovery. Indeed, right after our exploration of the nearby Open Air Museum, our hunches were proven right.
There, we found entire cottages, churches, monateries, peasant farms, even windmills, which had been properly disassembled from their originla locations and then carefully carried here and painstakingly restored to their natural selves.
What would have taken a week or more for us to explore turned out to be a delightful half-day trip through this little wonder of a museum.

We paid a final visit to the St. Stephen's Basilica just before we left, as we were unable to enter 2 days before due to the huge number of wedding ceremonies on a Saturday.

These neighbours along the street said their afternoon greetings and updated each other on their day.
