Buda and Pest

Working hard = playing hard.

This weekend we took a trip across to Budapest, it is only a 3 hour train ride away.
Fisherman's Bastion - the general Castle Hill area is absolutely beautiful, especially if the weather is nice (which it was). I adored the caped crusader (picture) - he sure cuts a fine shape. The first day was spent exploring various parts of Buda, walking across the Chain Bridge over to Pest - more exploring.
Resident map reader guided us to the best hotel... €35 euros, an apartment complete with balcony.
There are quite a few pictures of food, I am well aware. We went to a rather upmarket "all you can eat" restaurant - €20 (including champagne, wine, juice, water etc). Tonnes of quality food, fixed price - bargain.
I got to play a gypsy's violin! I busked in Heroes' Square for all of one piece (Czardas by Monti as it happens...)
