Budapest, Hungary

Because the ship could go no further down the Danube because it didn't have enough water, the company offered a bus tour down to Budapest, Hungary.  This was just the day after we joined the ship. Ken went on the tour.  These are pictures he took on that day.

Hero's Square

Vajdahuny Castle

National Library

Hungarian Parliament Building

Hungarian Academy of Sciences

This is the Man at Work statue back in Bratislavia (these pictures got out of order!)

These are called Mozart balls.  They are little chocolates.  We had each been given one on the flight to Vienna.  Ken found some to buy in Bratislavia.

Back to Budapest: St. Stephen's Basillica
