Once we arrived at our hotel in Budapest everyone made a mad dash for their rooms and the showers. What a relief! We just relaxed in our room for the few hours we had before going out to the special dinner they had for us. It was a traditional Hungarian menu with entertainment with a folk band and dancers. Very colorful and exciting. I know those dancers had to be exhausted by the time the night was over.
The next day we got a tour of the city of Budapest and saw many of the beautiful buildings and bridges and views before we were free to explore on our own. We were SO glad to have gorgeous weather, blue skies and sunshine after having so much rain on our last trip. We enjoyed walking around and getting lots of pictures of the interesting architectural details on many of the buildings and bridges. Colin got to hold a hawk on his arm while we were visiting the fisherman's bastion and I know his smile couldn't have gotten any wider without pulling a muscle or something! After it got dark we met up with the bus again and took a boat ride on the Danube and saw the buildings and bridges all lit up. Magical!
