Last Evening in Budapest

As the sun began to set, we headed back to our hotel, crossing the Elisabeth Bridge yet again, glad that our hotel had been on the Buda side, giving us so many opportunities to see the Danube in all its variations of light and color as we crossed the bridge day after day.





I stood on our 5th floor balcony a while, watching the light fade.



I watched the sunset relected in a window across from our balcony.



And this view of Buda side of the city we were about to leave! It remains one of my favorite images.



How do apartment residents manage to have such lush displays of flowers on their balconies?



And, as night fell, we toasted our stay in Hungary with the country's famous drink, Tokaji, a dessert wine I heartily recommend.
