6 juillet 2009, Vienna to Budapest

MONDAY Ate breakfast at the hostel, then took the metro to the train station.

Kurz ziehen pull sharply. There were English translations around Vienna to help tourists.

Boarding the train in Vienna and heading to Budapest.

Those in the yellow vests are ticket patrols who check passengers' tickets entering and exitting the train platform in Budapest.Huge fans keep the Budapest metro cool. Temperatures were in the high nineties.

Leslie and I ate lunch at the park on Margaret Island.

Looking across at Pest and the Danube River from Margaret Island.

Historically Budapest was two cities: Buda and Pest... the Danube River dividing the two cities until unification in 1873.

I bought some stamps from the post office.
