Hydrafoil beyond the Danube bend

We see the Danube every day, particularly we see the boats and river cruises moving along. We thought about taking one of the 1 hour cruises until we found that there is a ferry that goes from Budapest to other cities. After a long talk with the ferry people we opted for a one way ticket on the Hydrafoil to Szentgyorgymezo. The hydrafoil was fast and smooth (and a little hot as there seemed to be a power problem so no A/C). We got all the way to Esztergrom (across the bridge was Slovakia) and then had a bus and train adventure getting back to Budapest. But first our hydrafoil time.

Our trip was on a Saturday. The river was full of local people enjoying the river. Camping, swimming and lots of boating. We came across several club boat races. Mostly kayaking, but also canoeing and even dragon boats.Read more
