Budapest Danube

SO much about Vienna. Now we move on to Budapest in Hungary.

It's 227km to Budapest.


Mum was eager to move on to a new country.


Love the vast space of greens.


Love to look at the highway.


Not many vehicles all along the way.


Another 25km to reach Budapest.


Simply love the front view.


Finally, we reached Budapest.


Budapest Danube..

The Danube is a river in Central Europe, the continent's second longest after the Volga.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable.
