Just Can't Leave Budapest Without First Showing You..........

Just a few more things from Budapest, and then we'll get back on the boat and move on----








First of all-- How 'bout gypsy violins and dancers ?!?

Yep! That's a flagon of wine just sitting right there on her head
--no Velcro or anything!

Then there's Barbie. She turns up in the most unexpected places!

With Post boxes as cute as this, Who wouldn't want to send a post card from Hungary?


















The Chain Bridge linking Buda and Pest. Unless they've read Dracula, most people don't know they are actually two cities separated by the Danube. Buda is the much older city, which makes sense, since it is on a high embankment and far easier to fortify. It is the seat of the government today.

Back to the boat and onward upstream to Slovakia.

Hungarian plum and apricot brandies are to die for; but what did we buy in Budapest?

PAPRIKA
of course!
