Great report. Agree that Prague is just too crowded. We were there for May Day weekend which also happened to be the Hockey World Championships and the Prague Marathon weekend. The lines and crowds were unbearable!
By the way, we saw those beautiful yellow fields all over Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic a few weeks ago so we asked about them and we were told they are fields of canola (as in canola oil).

Budapest is a great city. Would love to go back sometime. Had fun at the Szchenyi Frdő as well.
Don't forget to check out the Gellrt Frdő. It is even more magnificent than Szchenyi. http://www.gellertbath.hu/ They even have an outdoor wave pool!

Let's not get started on Employee(Global)First.
I would say it was like New Orleans in that I am glad I finally went and visited, but I don't have a strong desire to return. Yes, I wore the same Yohji outfit on my LH F flight and then changed into the brown and taupe (come on LH!) PJs.

Nice ending JV! Lufthansa First Class looks decent as usual, really have to try it out sometime but I guess that time will come eventually. Though I'm not too impressed with the guy showing up wearing beach shorts and flip flops, but I guess he's paid for his ticket so that entitles him to wear whatever he wants. Though I'm sure that the staff aren't too happy when people show up dressed like that.
About Prague, yeah I visited it back in 2008 when I had just turned 16. It was my first trip not involving my family, so I guess it was more enjoyable in that sense. But I remembered the city being quite touristy, nice old buildings to look at but nothing more. So perhaps I should think twice about re-visiting it then
