Welcome to Budapest

Budapest was the official start of our Gate 1 tour and river cruise on the Danube after spending time in Romania on our own.  It was a beautiful city full of history and great architecture.  The night time views, especially our sail out of the city were spectacular and worth the price of admission alone.
