We are all packed and ready to head for home tomorrow morning. We have a ride to the airport booked for nine A.M. Our flight to Amsterdam will depart about 11;20, for a two hour trip. We will have two hours there, then on to Montreal, and finally, Ottawa by bus. I did the online check ins today, so we have the Boarding Passes all ready to go.
On Sunday, we walked to the Budapest zoo, about a 45 minute stroll from our condo...although we took about an hour and a half and looked into a few shops on the way. We were about five hours at the zoo, one of the best I have seen. The zoo is in a park/forest setting, so lots of trees and shade for the animals. We walked home after the zoo visit, on one of the best weather days we have had.
Monday, the highlight of the day, and a big one for this trip was a tour with buffet lunch on the great Danube river. The trip was of an hour and a half duration. While we have spent most of our time on the Pest side of the Danube, today was dedicated to the Buda side...with the Budapest Castle, and the hills. Here, the Danube flows south and east. Going downriver, Buda is on the left, Pest on the right.
I will do an update a few days after our return to Ottawa. This fantastic trip is fast coming to a close.
