Today we biked over to the “Buda” side of Budapest which is on the other side of the Danube River from which we are staying. I should also mention it’s the hilly side of the city. Here is a quick time-lapse video showing us crossing the bridge on our bikes to get to our first destination. It should give you a feel for the type of urban biking we are doing. It's 15 minutes compressed to 30 seconds. Once in Pest, we were able to visit the Church in the Cave, Buda Castle, Matthias Church and Fisherman’s Bastion. Across the river was the perfect place for a photo op with Parliament in the background; Parliament is perhaps the most iconic symbol of the city and part of our Project Term t-shirt design. We then traveled to Margit Island followed by a return to the Pest side of the city. There we enjoyed Gerbeaud Coffee House and, after dinner, a ruin pub and the Budapest Eye. It was busy day.
