A sound sleep followed by a very satisfying breakfast before bracing the 15 degrees for a bus/walking tour if Budapest. Drive through Pest followed by tour of the very impressive opera house with champagne recital. We then headed for the castle in Buda. Back to ship for lunch and sailing. There is no way you can do justice to what is obviously a very interesting and diverse city in four hours. A taste only.
Washing, cards, walking on the sun deck and then an info session about what is ahead to assist the selection of tours was the afternoon. Captains welcome cocktail party before dinner was very pleasant and the dinner that follow very delicious and equally hilarious! Between roses, 'Katut' (our Indonesian waiter), all our Balkan travellers being in silly moods and having a private area ... dinner was memorable.
As a general observation I have to say ... I feel like I'm in a retirement home! We are definitely 'the girls'!
BTW - internet in inconsistent in the countryside and valleys of the Danube. I may not get posts up daily in the next two weeks.
