CITY WALKABOUT
It was cold and blustery outside. Little drops of rain fell from the gathering clouds. We turned the corner after the restaurant and found ourselves outside the Tourist Information Center. The lady manning the counter was a large pretty girl with a bored expression. We persuaded her to find out more about the Hop-On-Hop-Off City Tour tickets which we ended up buying. The tickets cost 6000 forints each and included a 1-hour river cruise.
Not sure where to start our city tour, and not wishing to stir her any more than we already did, we walked past the Chain Bridge towards the boats docked along the Danube.
