Day 62 Budapest

We wandered from our apartment down to the Danube admiring the architecture of so many buildings and found ourselves at the Air Race. It was pretty hard to miss as it had taken over the river, which has the areas of Buda on one side of the Danube and Pest on the other.


We stopped in front of the splendid Parliament building and watched the Air Race trials for a while as the planes flew under the famous Chain Bridge. There were plenty of vantage points for the race, no matter where we were we could find a good spot to see the show. It would be difficult to imagine any city better than Budapest to watch something like this. 


In between the races they had Jet Pack Man flying around, it was very noisy and unfortunately he didn't come over our side of the river, when they interviewed him afterwards it turned out he was Australian.
