Part 1 BRIDGE BOARDING

We stayed in Budapest. Buda and Pest are separate places. There are some bridges that cross between Buda and Pest.We went to the Elizabeth Bridge and my favorite one "The Chain Bridge"! The Chain Bridge has chains on it and lions at the entrance to guard the Chain Bridge! It has 2 arches!

These pictures are all of the Chain Bridge!

Part 2 BLUE DANUBE CRUISE

On new years eve we took a cruise, the place we were cruising was on the Blue Danube! It was a............. blue moon (a blue moon is the second full moon in a month!)! A blue moon on the blue Danube in a new year!
The cruise was great and we learned a lot! It turned in circles under the bridges!

Here is the coolest picture of it!

Part 4 BIG BUDAPEST!

Budapest is the capital city of Hungry. The city covers an area of 525 square kilometers! It also has a "Hero's Square". The "Hero's Square" is a place where they have statues of hero's. In Christmas time the whole city is lit up! Imagine how beautiful it is. Luckily, I have a picture of it on the new years! Shown on the other parts before part 4.

Part 5 A LITTLE TASTE OF HOME!

Almost all of the people in the world like McDonald's, right? Well, we went to one of the swankiest McDonald's! Actually, it did not cost that much! It is very European style with a nice chandelier and two floors.

Very clean with lots of plants.

Part 6 MEDIEVAL RESTAURANT

We went to a medieval restaurant with large quantities of food. It said on the brochure, "Best food in the largest quantities". They were not kidding! Drinks were served in medieval mugs, there was a show and other entertaining stuff. The entertaining stuff was a fire-swallower, a strongman and also a balancing man. To top that off, there was even a good show and a belly dancer. Watch out all you boys!
