Budapest

Day one.
We boarded our home for the next two weeks on the Amaverde. A five star hotel on the river. Our time so far have found that we will be extremely well cared for, wined and dined and our every need catered for.

After settling in we took ourselves off to wander in our surrounds. We found a lovely little place to partake in our first celebratory champagne and watch the world in Budapest flow by. Then back to the ship for a pleasant evening and finally to sleep in a bed.

Day two.
What a lovely start to our journey. Budapest (pronounced as Buda-peshtd)is divided by the river Danube. Buda (the older part of the city) on one side and Pest on the other. You need to have at least a week to explore to really appreciate the history. We did not have time to have a Turkish bath for which the area is famous for. They say the healing properties of the natural springs do wonders for arthritic joints....not that we are claiming to have arthritis, however after the long flight to get here, it would have been very soothing.

Highlights
The architecture of the buildings.

Dissapontments
Not enough time to explore the two cities.....Buda and Pest. Did not have a turkish bath.
