And the end of our adventure begins…….
An essentially uneventful train to Budapest ( which isn’t to say I didn’t spend an unusual amount of energy checking and rechecking platform assignment etc!!!). It sounds beyond exotic to me that I’ll be in such a romanticized city. The scenery is much the same – those green rolling hills.
We’ve gotten ourselves oriented slightly to Pest (one side of the Danube in this metropolis). But we’re glued to our maps and still get off track by a couple blocks at a try! Part of the fun – after you sort it out.
You can tell it’s Saturday night!
The historical Szechenyl Ianchid or Chain Bridge links the two cities Buda and Pest – turned Budapest in 1873.
Looking up to the castle district on the Buda side.
Sven István Bazilika (St Steven’s Cathedral).
Budapest seems larger and grander than anything we’ve seen this trip. The buildings are sweeping and ornate. It’s gonna be wonderful to explore!
