Sunday 22nd August

A long day in the bus for the trip to Budapest. We had our chance to sit at the front seat of the bus. Although we had a great view, the foot space was a trifle reduced and we both ended up with sore knees at the end of the day.
We drove through the Tatra Mountains. There really were not the mountains you think Europe would have, but they were mountains none the less. It was a long day and we were glad to get to Budapest at about 4pm.

We had diner provided at the hotel and when that was finished we were off for a night cruise on the Danube to see the views of Budapest. Truly great scenery and the photos do not tell the story. More tomorrow as we do another city tour. At last the weather is warming up and tomorrow promises to be the hottest day yet.

Sounds like your enjoying yourselves.
I've heard that Auschwitz is a pretty sad and somber place.

Campbells party was good as was the old boys day at the footy.

I'm enjoying the Blog so far - good work.

Love your detailed accounts. Sounds like a really good time is being had, even if some areas visited are reminders of a horrid past.

Love to you both!
