Hungary for a break

With Dave and Liz in town for a while, we decided to head off to Hungary for a few days. We landed early on Thursday and checked into the Ambra hotel. It is located on the Pest side of the Danube, close to transport and some of the main tourist sights. We basically spent our five days trying to get around to most of the must see spots. We were struck by the beauty of Budapest. The architecture is impressive, the river setting is beautiful and we were able to view the city from many aspects as we travelled from one vantage point to another.

We managed to visit almost everything onour list and discovered an amazingly affordable Budapest buffet which provided dinner on our final three days. It's a great city for a short break, plenty to see and some beautiful statues and structures. Check some of them out below
