Day 17

Another day, another country. Hungary and it's lovely capital Budapest.A great sight seen from the river. As we sailed in Buda was on the right side and Pest on the left. Buda is hill and Pest no-one knows the meaning of. It was once called Pestbuda but was later changed because Budapest sounded better.City tour included Fishermans Bastion on the hill of Buda side, with great views over the city and river. Another stop was at a huge indoor makrket degisned bu Gustav Eiffel where we bought some salami for our ANZAC drinks. A highlight of our day was going by ferry across to Pest and on the underground to the beautiful Roman Baths.One pool at 38 dgrees was spot on. Another had spa jets that come up from your feet and then after 10 minutes a whirlpool started. Dave got some good snaps with his new waterproof camera.We enjoyed a beer and a cocktail and were entertained by a Gypsy Band and dancers who had lots of character. After dinner we went up on deck and enjoyed a couple of glasses of sticky wine as we sailed up and down the river and saw the beauty of Budapest illuminated at night.It was magical.
