Spent the entire day at the Belvedere learning about the Hapsdburgs and studying the art of Gustave Klimt. The photo was taken through the old glass windows of the Upper Belvedere Palace.

Szechenyi Spa
Adventured out this morning with Dan and Judy to the famous spa of Budapest. Included navigating the oldest subway in Europe. I could have spent all day sampling all the features of Szechenyi! In the picture, the annular ring is a high speed powered stream that turns on for a few minutes at a time and sends you flying around. Lots of laughter. The stream is not on in this picture.
We came back to here a inspiring talk by an economics professor at Budapest University. Tomas became involved in organizing volunteers to help refugees fleeing Syria and other mid eastern countries who congregated at the main train station.
Finished the day dancing in the lounge.
Great cruise so far
