Budapest day 2

Full day in Budapest to walk, see, eat, drink, and meet friends; new & old. Beautiful weather and water levels high enough to allow us to set sail up the Danube tomorrow.
This morning I took a leisurely walk and lite rail tour of Buda, then we walked across the bridge (toting our luggage from the Carlton hotel) to the Pest side and boarded the Viking Egil. Had a fabulous lunch on the Aquavit Terrace, then a wine and cheese pairing with Stephanie, Becky, Vicki, Barry Johnston and... we kept adding chairs as new friends joined us.
After, we took off walking again because you know what's coming... happy hour followed by a fabulous dinner. Night caps on the upper deck to see this beautiful city. Back to our cabin as Stephanie and I settle in and unpack. Early to bed because tomorrow the adventures start at 8a.Lue lisää
