Budapest, Hungary

We ended our journey on a high note in Budapest. An incredibly beautiful city with amazing views, history, museums, shopping, art and dining et cetera, et cetera I could go on forever.

So that made this particular sunset – on the penultimate night of our European adventure – the most beautiful of all. Long ago Buda and Pest were separate cities split apart by the Danube River. This photo was taken from the Pest side of the river overlooking Buda and the magnificent Hungarian Parliament Building.

On our last night in Budapest there was a concert held in the plaza where everyone goes to take pictures of the Parliament building across the street. The Hungarian pianist Gergely Boganyi brought out his spaceship shaped piano and was accompanied by a booming thunderstorm. It was epic.
