    Budapest

    December 6, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ 🌧 3 °C

    Still snowing in Budapest. Beautiful old city of two halves. West Bank of the river Danube is called Buda has the castle and palace and hills. More up market than the eastern side of the river which is called Pest (pesht).

    The snow eases and the rain is wickedly cold. We tramped around the castle, down to Elizabeth Bridge and the tunnel. The tunnel was made to protect the bridge. The mechanism is maintained by the ‘keep of the bridge’.

    Christmas market for mulled wine and spicy hotdogs for lunch.

    Dinner was cruise on Danube with folk dancing to complete the evening.
