Day Four, Budapest
After the fall and the traffic - lack of local knowlege of bikeways and lousy signage - and wanting a break from the saddle, we just walked around. Starting with castle hill including Fishermans Bastion;
with it's great view of the amazing parliment house;
and further along the Danube . . . St Stephens and the Szechenyi Chain Bridge.
We had lunch at the Miro Cafe where the food was excellent and the decor Miro (as in Joan, Suz has a poster on the wall in Salzburg) inspired.
Across the Chain Bridge and we manage to find coffee and cake at the 1848 Gerbeaud Cafe where Suz had visited some 30 years earlier as a student. We return the following day.
Outside our hotel (half way a sizeable hill) cars are parked on the footpath. There are stainless steel U rails to stop cars from parking on the footpath in other places. The extremely high standard of downpipes on buildings is definately a thing. Likewise cops in T shirts. Cops in Smart cars, no really. Cops in cars trying to run us down on the road where we are walking because of all the cars parked on the footpaths!
