Day 7 - Budapest

Our last day was spent in Budapest. We took a bus tour of the city with several stops. First stop was Heroes' Square with the Millennial Monument.

The second stop was the Citadel. It was built as a military fortress and has fabulous views of the city.

What happens when you forget the drum? You use a drum stick and drum on the pew.
