Day 14 Budapest

This is our last port of call. We arrived in Budapest late on thursday night just around the time we were off to bed. On Friday we took the guided hike again in the morning followed by lunch and then we set out on our own for the afternoon taking a very long and well needed walk to an indoor market of food and souvenirs. Most of the guided walks we have taken have been slow and deliberate as there have been several handicapped people on these walks and they tend to slow you down a bit. Of note today was the memorial to the Jewish people that were executed at the edge of the Danube in mid winter. They were required to remove their shoes before being shot and falling in the river to die. Tomorrow we leave the ship at 0730 hrs and take a shuttle to the airport to fly to Paris.

Please forgive the upside down plague but the sun was behind me when i took the photo causing shadows. The sign reads 'to the victims that were shot by arrow cross militiamen 1944-45
