Budapest by night














This whole cruise on the Duchess had been meticulously planned to maximise the viewing opportunities.
We set off at dusk (after our 5-course dinner) and cruised back up the Danube River to the Parliament Building.
We then turned around and cruised past the beautifully-lit buildings again as we left Budapest.

Up on deck on a balmy night, sipping a specially prepared cocktail, the Blue Danube playing, and these magnificiently lit buildings ...
... the highlight of my 7 weeks in Europe.  Stunning!!




























































































.... farewell to beautiful Budapest...
