Our last sunset on the river |
Budapest at night--some of the photos are not real clear |
There are 7 bridges across the Danube in Budapest, the "Queen of the Danube." |
We were on the sun deck. It was cold, but our hot, spiced wine warmed us up. The sight was one of the most beautiful we have seen. |
Going under through the bridge |
The next morning--sunshine!!! The National Opera House and Hero's Square |
Statues on Hero's Square |
Adam and Eve |
A warrior |
An Hungarian warrior--Hungary has such an interesting history. |
A street in Budapest--the photo taken while on the bus |
Parliament |
Matthias Church |
Beautiful tile roof |
Beautiful inside too |
The floor, all this is left that is original from the 13th century. Everything else has been restored. |
The city of Buda and Pest. The photo is taken from the Buda side, the old city. Pest is the modern side. They were first united in 1873. |
View from Gellert Hill |
Another view of Matthias Church and its beautiful roof |
The morning was spent touring the city, mostly on the Buda side. The afternoon was spent shopping mostly on the Pest side!!
The bridge, photo taken through the bus window |
Ending on a sad note. This is a monument of shoes to commemorate the Jews who were pushed into the river and drowned during WWII. The only thing left to remember the event was their shoes! |
