01 Me and Budapest01 Me and Budapest01 Me and Budapest

I am at the Fisherman's Bastion and in the background is Budapest and the Danube river.
Geo: 47.4984, 19.0408

Woke up early this morning to the sound of rain drops on our tent, great,the worst thing about camping is rain. Brad cooked a great breaky of scrambled eggs and mushrooms. Caught the train into the city. Had a good view of Parliment House across the river. Walked uphill to the Fisherman's Bastion which is a good lookout point of the city. Saw the outside of Matthias church, we didn't pay to get in as we are all churched out. Then went to the Budapest Labyrinth. Spnt quite a while walkng through the underground caves and tunnels. I lead the way through the labyrinth of courage, which was pitch black and you had to hold onto a rope to avoid walking into walls. Crossed the river to Pest- thats where all the shops and places to eat are. Budapest is a beautiful city, full of lovely old buildings.
