Budapest Part Two: PICTURES!



Here are the pictures of Budapest that accompany my last post

Sleeper cars are very small



The Hungarian countryside at about 7:30am



The opera house in Budapest 



The ceiling of the porch 


The ceiling inside




This was our first view of St. Stephen's Basilica. Here's some information from the internet about the basilica. We didn't have a tour guide. 
"St. Stephen's Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in Budapest, Hungary. It is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary, whose right hand is housed in the reliquary. It was the sixth largest church building in Hungary before 1920. Wikipedia"




Inside the cathedral 






For a few hundred Hungarian Forint (a few dollars) we were about to climb to the top of the Basilica. The view was well worth the cost and the climb 







Sam's friend Danny,who is studying in Budapest, took us site seeing and joined us on our adventures 

You can see the castle to the right of the tower

Close up of the castle!

What a nice tower

There's a little bug on the ledge though he looks like a smudge 

"Have a great"



We were lucky enough to be in Budapest at the same time as their fish festival!

So many people!



Making the most delicious sugared dough log in the world!


Scott and I got coconut flakes on ours

So excited!

They got yummy cocoa powder on theirs

We don't know what building this is but it was pretty at night









Fishermans Bastian 




Classic Darcy...






The Parliament building









Our hostel 

We were messing trying to get everything ready to check out







It's the second nicest McDonalds in the world! 





I didn't know what I was ordering because it was in Hungarian but apparently it was white hot chocolate

Scott got some mocha frappe thing

The second best McDolands still tastes as bad as a regular McDonalds and I regret my delicious to give their food a chance. I regret it a lot, I felt sick for the rest of the day but I've learned my lesson. 


Goodbye, Hungary!


Windmills on the way to Vienna!

I hope you all enjoyed these pictures of my trip to Budapest. I will post about Vienna tomorrow and add pictures as well. 

Best wishes and lots of love to everyone back home. Take care!
