Hungary and Slovakia

Budapest surprised us as one of the best Eastern European cities we had visited. Great architecture, good restaurants and night life and nice people. Eger is a lovely little city in the main Hungarian wine region; a few hours outside Budapest. As luck would have it we got there during the annual wine festival, so we just had to spend a few nights. Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is also on the Danube and well worth a little stopover too.
