This morning ~ the view from our hotel window in Pest toward Buda on the hill.
In an hour we'll be heading to our ship, now moored nearby on the Danube.
Later in the afternoon we'll be unpacking in our stateroom, and settling in for the cruise.
Another day in Budapest tomorrow will include the full 'city tour' by bus, come
evening it will be 'anchors aweigh' and we'll head for Bratislava, Slovakia.
No time now to tell you all about the amazing time with Jane and Lance - just
take my word for it, it was fabulous in every way. I definitely will be sharing the rest
of the story soon, with a lot more photos of this charming, fun couple.
This pic was from lunch yesterday as, sadly, we said goodbye. They were heading
to a meeting with their director to discuss their upcoming starring rolls in their
movie which starts filming here in June.
Beautiful corners of Budapest as we walked around the past two days. . . . . I love this city.

Seen the place on a sign when I was in Germany but never got there with work

ReplyDeleteI imagine you were given a special insight into Budapest by the gorgeous Hattats - I'm looking forward to the tiny details M - they're such fun!
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends has done that cruise - it's on my Grand Tour list
Have fun as I know you will!
I'm out shopping today for a light across the body bag like yours - being tall, most are not long enough for me...
Much love

Ps Amazing photos.
What a beautiful and exciting place to visit. Your photos give us an idea of how much fun you are having.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you now on your cruise boat, settled in nicely. I visited Bratislava a few years ago and loved it. We walked the coronation route of the Austro-Hungarian kings and queens for they were crowned at a relatively small church in Bratislava. I'm looking forward to your photos. And I really must check out the Hattats' blog!
ReplyDeleteHello Mary,
ReplyDeleteYou are an excellent ambassador for Budapest. Hope you have a wonderful cruise.
I am so thrilled to hear you met the delightful Jane and Lance Hattatt. They are so special and I am anxiously looking forward to hearing all the details of them. I hope to meet with them this year too.
