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!!
