The day started on a cruise on the Danube with some champagne and a walk around the Margaret Island. The island has a running track which is protective for the knees, how cool is that.
Spent a few hours at The Terror Museum. I am not sure of exactly what I was expecting but not what was actually there. The building had been used during the Nazi rule as well as the Communist rule . There were stories and pictures of that gruesome era. There were pamphlets in English in each room but not really explaining the items in the room so I found it disappointing.
Arrived at the majestic Heroes square which was built for the millennium celebration in 1896. Close by is a park with the Vajdahunyad Castle. In front of it there was a river exhibition i.e. pieces of art dispersed in water. According to my mother the exhibition was spoiling her pictures!
Walked by the Szechenyl baths, people with towels wrapped over their head were wandering around. On our way back we stopped at the touristy bits of the Andrassy boulevard like the Opera house and Deak Ferenc Ter with it's church without a spire( could not afford one).
Had dinner at all you can eat and drink place, good way to try different dishes and drink too much alcohol.
