Day 74 4 June 2015 Budapest

Happy Birthday to my sister Debbie!

We had a walking and bus tour of some Church of St Matthais with views over the city.  There After ta there was a bus tour and a piano and organ recital by a Hungarian Professor for us in a blind school.







We visited the Square of Heroes, which commemorates the glories of their past generals and victories.  An impressive area and it was surrounded by some quite interesting buildings.  Their national museum is closed for renovation for a couple of years, not that we had time to see it.
We had a leisurely lunch and went for a short walk.



We left Budapest to go up the Danube tonight. After tea Elizabeth suggested that we go up on deck and luckily we did as there perched high on a bluff was the cathedral of Eztergomy which holds 8000 people and is the largest one in Hungary and this place was once the seat for Hungarian kings.  We were surprised that they didn’t make an announcement in the general areas.
