Day 14: The ‘Buda’ Bit of Budapest
Neal, Greg and I spent the day exploring the Buda side of Budapest, which is on the western bank of the Danube. Atop Castle Hill, an imposing citadel covering a decent sized hill, we explored the old Royal Palace, walked past many government buildings along the cobbled streets, saw a few impressive churches and wandered around the Disneyland-esque Fishermen’s Bastion with its conical-shaped towers.

Cool phone box and a pink phone. A street scene.

Some fantastic and intricate tiling on the roof of a cathedral.
Yo Paul, sounds like you’re doing well. Sorry about them socceroos yesterday. Bye the way I got some mail for you, you got a local address in Budapest? 🙂
