In 2014 we stopped overnight in Budapest so saw only a minimal part of the city of 3 towns – Buda, Obuda and Pest, divided by the Danube which forks in the middle of the city.
As I said in the cover page of Destinations, Africa, just as wonderful as it is to travel abroad, here in South Africa we have some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. That said, to those outside of South Africa, I encourage you to explore your own country.…
We sailed out of Vienna for an overnight ride to Budapest with a 4 hour stop on the way at the small town of Esztergom.
For a change to writing a full blog I thought that I would show you some of the beautiful scenery to which we were treated while sailing on the Danube between towns.
We ended our day by visiting the popular Vienna Ferris Wheel after seeing St Stephen’s Cathedral.
Our new Australian friend, Val, joined us for our sight-seeing today.
We spent most of the day sitting on deck and watching the beautiful scenery as we made our way to Vienna where we arrived just after 4pm.
We woke to a sunny but bitterly cold day – 5deg for most of the day.
As said at the end of my previous blog, our trip back to the hotel on the first day was very interesting.
Well, Prague did live up to its legacy of being absolutely beautiful and very interesting.
