On Wednesday, June 5, we had to leave our luxurious Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest (Hyatt) for being transported by bus to our Viking Lif long boat.
We got welcomed with a delicious lunch and got settled into our cabin.
The Viking Lif remained in Budapest until after dinner, when we started to move out...
Seen here is the Elisabeth Bridge, named after the beloved Austrian-Hungarian queen and empress 'Sissi'
Also seen to the right is the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, commonly known as the Inner City Parish Church
This is Liberty Bridge with to the right the Danubius Hotel Gellért and it also houses the world famous Gellért Baths.
