Thursday 26 th April
Rising early we showered in our plush ensuite availing ourselves of the very nice toiletries provided and proceeded to breakfast. The buffet was delicious with a good choice of fruit and cereals eggs anyway you like toast etc you get the idea.
The organized tour took us by bus to "Hero Square" along the way we saw many mansions and historical buildings including the baths that Budapest is famous for.
Hero square is a large open area at the end of a beautiful tree lined boulevard there are lots of statues all with significance to the history of Hungary, whilst at the square one of our fellow travelers had a nasty fall and bumped her head but luckily she didn't break anything and was able to soldier on but as the day went on she started to show signs of bruising we think that she will have a good black eye before long.
The next stop "The Fishermans Bastion "was reached again on the bus but this time on the Buda side of the Danube
We traveled via the Jewish quarter past the second largest synagog in the world our guide Rita was very informative and the tour ended at the boat in time for lunch.
The afternoon was spent on the boat relaxing and taking it easy , the dinner this evening was far more enjoyable than the previous night with six courses and more wine than is required ,the entrees one cold the other hot were followed by a main that was more than excellent and the whole meal was rated 5 star by our table.
During dinner the boat left Budapest and is heading toward Bratislava but that is tomorrow .
