SZENTENDRE
Szentendre, which translates to Saint Andrew, is a historic town 21 kilometers (13 miles) north of Budapest. There are a few different ways to get here, but your best in the summer is by boat. It's an hour-long popular river cruise up the Danube to this touristy historic town, but it's definitely worth a day visit. Mike and Henrietta chartered a boat; regular cruises cost around 1.785 HUF = $8.25. The charming town has a Mediterranean feel, thanks to Serbians settlers who came here in the 17th century. Szentendre is filled with cobblestone streets, beautiful buildings and many Serbian churches. Today it's an artists colony, and in between all the souvenir shops you can find lots of museums and galleries.
DINNER IN SZENTENDRE
The rehearsal dinner was at the Promenade restaurant. It's owned by a Austrian man who takes pride in making his guests happy � that's the feeling that I got. I know Mike had that feeling too, after dining there a few times. The soup, chicken, fish and dessert were delicious, and the service was excellent. Just watch out for the hot peppers growing in the pots on the table -- and bring bug spray if you're there after dark. Promenade Restaurant, H-2000 Szentendre, Futo utca 4 � Dunakorzo; tel.: 36-2-631-2626. For more click HERE.
