River Danube boat trip

20131002-111929.jpg

Sunday 29th of September we took a trip on the hydrofoil up the River Danube taking in the famous Danube bend ….. this was their last trip of the season !

It was a beautiful sunny relaxing day.

Funnily enough the first thing we bumped into was a running race so good to see running is as popular here as at home

After a lovely coffee while basking in the sun we took a walk up castle hill to look round the Basilica which is the largest church in Hungary.

Then we walked across the Maria Valeria bridge,the middle of this bridge marks the border between Hungary and Slovakia , its  been destroyed twice,the last time in 1944 and only renovated in 2001

Then after a nice long lunch it was time for the return boat trip.

I never realised doing nothing could be so tiring 🙂

Sally in Budapest

I am sat here at Luton airport thinking how amazing it is ….

When I first met Geoff and we went to Les Gets in 2007 I had no experience of airports or travelling and to be honest the airport scared me to death

Now here I am making my way to Budapest all on my own ……

I drove to the airport as well something else I never used to have the confidence to do although having a Tom Tom certainly helps 🙂

But then I would travel to the other end of the world on my own just to see Geoff 🙂
