Budapest

At last we arrived in beautiful Budapest and it certainly lived up to its reputation.

As it was Sunday there was free parking available in the city centre - fantastic - where else in the world would you get that, and the Chain Bridge was closed to traffic but was open as a market, where they were selling amongst other things sweet bread on a roll - very tasty.

We checked out the Cathedral - absolutely magnificent.

We stopped overnight in Budapest - so next day we went on a boat trip on the Danube, fortunately and unfortunately the Red Bull air display was on so we got great views from the river of the planes but the boat could not go up river as the planes were flying under the Chain Bridge.

In the afternoon we went up the funicular railway and checked out the Fisherman's Bastion and the Royal Palace - which is used as a museum of art.

Definitely a place to go back to.
