Day 32 - Budapest

09 August, 2011


View from the Hotel

Today we packed up and left Austria.  It was raining when we left (we are getting used to rain), but nice and sunny when we arrived in Hungary.  After 560km and six hours of driving we arrived at our destination, the Hilton Budapest.  Yes, we are spoiling ourselves for a couple of nights and staying at the Hilton in Budapest. (Actually, the accommodation was free courtesty of Hilton Honours points accumulated through Paul's work).  The location of the Hilton is magnificent.  We are located in the castle district in Budapest, overlooking the Danube and nestled between St Matthews Church and the Fishermans Bastion.


The rooms are pretty nice as well.   We have two adjoining double rooms, with plenty of room to stretch out.
After checking into our room, we went for an evening stroll through the castle district.  We walked arount St Matthews Church and the Fishermans Bastion, before wandering down to the Daunube where we could see the Hungarian parliament house. Lots of beautiful old building and opportunites for photographs.  Afterwards, we found a small restaurant and stopped in for a traditional Hungarian dinner.
