More Budapest at night photos and a few whimsies

Budapest and particularly the Danube at night  is a sight not to be missed.  Strolling along its banks at sunset among all the other happy people out and about is an atmosphere you can't describe.  You had to be there to experience it.


The Lanchid (Chain Bridge) at night.


The Fisherman's Bastion over at Buda.


The Castle lit up.


This is outside the Dunakorso Restaurant where a band is playing and the people from the street are dancing to the music.  It is a lovely atmosphere and the smells are delicious.


With four women friends in the garden of the marvellous Massolit Books which is an English language bookshop-cum-cafe in Nagy Diofa utca in the former Jewish District where the ghetto was in WWII.  Judith, Jane and Lynne and I are part of the Jewish English speaking women's group that normally meets at Balint Haz the Jewish community centre.  Today we were simply schmoozing after a pleasant lunch at the equally wonderful Kadar Jewish Restaurant at Klauzal Ter.  When I entered, I thought for a moment I had walked into the now extinct Danube Restaurant in Acland Street, Melbourne.
