To the Boat Cruise

Hi lovelies, What a wonderful sight to end our lovely day. After a lazy sleep in this morning, we headed off for breakfast and then back to our room to pack all Robbies souvenirs.

The walk was quite pleasant, and we saw some more of this amazing city. Old religious dewlings A walk by the Danube We were taken aboard our ship, and taken to our cabin. It is just amazing. Our room currently overlooks the Hungary Parliament Building. It was pretty in the day time, but as you can see it is spectacular at night. Just like a fairy tale.

It was then back to the cabin for a quick nap to recharge for the evening...

While not that large but they were really good to see. Lots of  different food and handmade crafts. I blame Lizzy but I did buy a few items as well 😄.
