Final musings

Having just had first meal service on our MAD-GDL flight and with 10 hours to go, I decided to make one last post with some final thoughts. Now if I have more final thoughts later, then I'll make another final post.😆
What cities did we visit?
Venice, 2 weeks
Vicenza, 4 days
Verona, 4 days
Alta Badia, 6 days
Bolzano, just 1 day and overnight
Vienna, 5 days
Budapest, 9 days
Madrid, 5 days.

What was my favorite city?
Budapest followed closely by Madrid.

Best food?
Venice

Least favorite city?
Vienna. Great place for a subcommittee meeting if the UN is picking up the tab.

Would I choose to go back?
Budapest, yes. I'm not done there.
Madrid, yes.
Venice, yes, we made friends there.
Alta Badia, yes. There's hiking to be done there.

Least expensive?
Madrid, Budapest for getting around and lodging.

Most expensive?
Vienna for everything, Budapest for food.

Most impressed by?
Budapest, as I said before its everything I wanted Vienna to be, and the public transportation is the best I've ever used.

Least impressed by?
The Prado museum, Madrid. The museum of the worst way to run/be a museum.

All in, its been a long vacation. Im ready to come home and relax. We had so much fun just getting around exploring, surprising ourselves. So many trains, buses and miles walked, parks discovered, kindnesses of strangers.
Thanks for playing along
