Hungary - Budapest - 5 - 8 November 2013

Arrived in Budapest from Prague by train, only 7.5 hours!!  Did a walking tour thru the Pest side across the Danube river on the chain bridge into the Buda side.  Great views from the castle hill over Pest.  During the second world war, nazi troops blew every single bridge and every important building.  The town itself has been rebuilt twice leaving lots of different architecture.
Buildings that had been bombed and deserted had been turned into bars called Bar Ruins.  We managed to find this in the Jewish quarters one night for an interesting experience.
