We thought it might be fun to float our way east and so we hopped aboard a catamaran ferry and stopped in Bratislava for a historically enlightening 4 hour tour with local guide Martin Sloboda, before continuing by train to Budapest. One thing is clear, Bratislava’s Old Town is worth 4 hours in and of itself and we hope to go back.
Following a leisurely 2.5 hours in 1st class, we disemarked in Budapest, located our hotel, ate our first Hungarian dinner of duck and pork, took a stroll along the pedestrian only shopping zone where a Hungarian Festival is in full swing, and agreed we are done for the day. I plan to share photos of Budapest tomorrow.
