Guided tour of Budapest

We are power down to a bus and had a fine guided tour of Budapest. It took us all round up and down East in west cross the river and back! We got to go to Heroes Square Newcastle complex the Fisherman's Bastion and a scenic overlook with very large statues and a fort.

We had to cross over two different boats. That is the price you pay to get the best view
