Next and last stop was Budapest, Hungary. Many years ago, there was Buda and there was Pest, each on a side of the Danube. First visit was on the Buda Castle Hill that has the castle (duh), cathedral and presidential palace. If you ever want to visit a terror museum, this is the place to go. This vibrant international city features many easy-to-walk-to venues and lots of tourists mingling with the locals in the city center. We ate lunch at a Hawaiian restaurant, naturally, and a shout-out to Jason Momoa. There are also the graffiti and stickers that plague most every city, some racist as here, but also there is street art (more of that to follow). I had to snap a photo of a sticker of the two autocrats I saw on the bridge as we walked to the public bath. We spent a week in Budapest and I captured 354 images, so more blog posts to come.
