BUDAPEST

It's a long drive from Kracow to Budapest but at least interesting as we were able to cross Slovakia with snow capped mountains, beautiful fields and even Medieval Castles as well as lovely villages.  In Slovakia the houses are all set close together because it seems that everyone loves each other!!

We arrived in Budapest at the end of the afternoon and just in time for an amazing private dinner cruise on the Danube.  We have left the small cities behind and Budapest shines as a bright and beautiful Metropolis.  A cruise on the Danube is the best way to begin explorations of the city as it gives you a glimpse of both Pest and Buda--the two distinct areas of the city located on opposite sides of the river.  Here is a quick look at some of the highlights of this amazing city.  

Parliament by day and night show the amazing beauty on the Pest side of the river. But not to be forgotten is Chain Bridge and the Old Royal Palace on the Buda side of the river.
