We've been to Budapest many times, but we still haven't seen everything. This time we only had half an hour or so, but we walked up to the citadel set on a hill beside the Danube river, overlooking Budapest. It's a pretty cool sight:

| That is me at the very bottom. The statue is of a lady holding up a huge leaf... |

| Guy holding a torch |
 |
| Guy punching a dragon |

| This was a struggle: fitting a gorgeous view into the picture, as well as two simultaneously smiling faces, and all the while trying not to show a trace of the struggle you're having with the camera, and the wind, etc... |

| ...like so. |
Inside the fortress/citadel are some restaurants--we think. We didn't have time to go in, but might go back. Lots of over-priced souvenirs for tourists!

The famous chain bridge--the first of it's kind--was ruined during WWII. But they've built it up again, since. Hungarians have had a rough history. They've been picked on a lot.
Stu liked the statue pictures. He asked if you guys are playing tag?!! (: Sounds like tons of fun!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha he's so cute. The other day they inflated the dome, so Jeff and I walked up to a really high tower to watch it all happen. There were huge semis going by beneath us, and tons of tractors and cranes below. We were so high up they looked like little tonka trucks. We both said we wished Stu was there--he would have LOVED it!
