Before boarding the ship we toured Budapest, visited the “House of Terror”, the building where suspected informants and such were interrogated, tortured and many hung during the 1950’s revolution.
Began cruising in the evening. Everyone was on the upper deck around 9pm onward cameras in hand. The views of the Budapest riverfront at night were exceptional. It is hard to believe that many of the buildings survived two wars and revolutions. Cruised at a pretty good speed up river into the dark of the night. Not having much to look we joined several to the lounge; very good piano player.
Our first dinner on board was very good, everything presented was picture perfect.
This morning we went through our first of 25 locks. It was a HUGE, 4 ships can fit in the lock at one time. Leisurely day today, cruising towards Bratislova, in Slovakia. Expecting a walking tour this afternoon.
Have posted a couple of recent pictures.
