Fortunately we arrived only an hour and a half later than we expected due to snow at the airport in Vienna. Many of the other passengers were stranded in Frankfurt, or London, or Amsterdam as this was a bad time for weather across Europe. When the ship finally left Budapest to sail up the river, only 63 of the expected 140 passengers were on board.
The ship was the Viking Sky
Nicely equipped with a large sun deck
And a swimming pool
Budapest was a beautiful city full of monuments, statues, churches, and many quaint buildings and attractive streets.
The churches are overwhelming in size and complexity.
Many cities had monuments to the plague (or, maybe that is to the end of the plague).
Budapest at night was particularly spectacular.
I'm glad we didn't stay long enough to need to learn Hungarian.
