Budapest Part 3

 

We took another on/off bus for the next 2 days and took some wonderful pictures (if we do say so ourselves).  We also took a cruise on the Danube, even though we are going on a 7 day cruise on the Danube on Wednesday.  We got good pictures on the boat.

We went to the historical museum at the palace and I thought this old head was really neat.   a 8 20 (28) (1024x768)_thumb_thumb

One of the many spas in Budapest.  There are many hot springs in the city.  We didn’t know that before we came and we didn’t even know it in time to take advantage of it.  We are sure they would be very fancy and expensive.

We saw this sculpture on the side of a building on the way to our boat for our cruise.  What does it look like to you?

It looked like George Washington at the signing of the Declaration of Independence to all of us.

It isn’t…………….It is the signing of the starting of a university.  Strange similarities, don’t you think.

Well we leave on Wednesday, the 22nd  on our cruise of the Danube.  More then.
