Something strange...
The shuttle bus is sailing???



My feet feel so good at the riverside of
the familiar Danube River in Budapest, Hungary
in such a "yucky" hot & humid afternoon




Beautiful Night with full lights of the buildings
everywhere along the Danube River









Heroes' Square



Parliament



Beautiful panoramic view of Fishman's Bastion &
St. Matthias Church seen from the Danube River



St. Matthias Church & Fishman's Bastion




St. Matthias Church and Bronze Statue of
King St. Stephen





Barbara Kinzie & Camilla behind
St. Matthias Church




Fisherman's Bastion in neo-Gothic & neo-Romanesque
styles, one of my favorite seesightings in Budapest, Hungary



Fisherman's Bastion
Seven turrets symbolize Magyar tribes that settled
in the area in the 12th century
Also, it refers to a point of defense in a fortification



Camilla & Bill on the top of Fisherman's Bastion behind
beautiful stunning views of the Danube River,
Parliament, Pest, & the Chain Bridge



Please, taking stunning views of all the beautiful sites
like above
Also, you are encouraged to visit there one day!!!!!
