Day 15: 18th June. Budapest, Hungary.
The "Jewel of the Danube", "Queen of the Danube", and the other nicknames for this truly dynamic city, are fitting ones for such a vibrant and exciting place Budapest has evolved into.
Steeped with history, romance, culture, the arts, and certainly, nightlife, Budapest is not a city to miss. It's one of our favourite cities and certainly the one we most want to return to.
There is simply so much to see and do along the Danube here, there is barely time enough to cover it all!
The Parliament, one of the biggest in the world with over 700 rooms; the Buda Castle perched atop Buda hill, Gellert Hill just adjacent to it; St. Stephen's Basilica rising high above the rest of the city skyline. All these sights are visible from both Buda and Gellert hills, and certainly most enjoyable from a high vantage point. Our panorama of the city skyline will be available at our exhibition.
This young lady was dressed in traditional Hungarian folk costume for her cousin's wedding. She was posing for all five of us, who went happily snapping away and (she) almost reluctantly gave up her newly found stardom.
This evening, there was a fireworks along the Danube for the occasion of a new Guinness World record. Over 3000 couples kissing on the Szechenyi bridge at the same time.
