Athens to Stuttgart Road Trip Part 12 – Budapest
Today I was the tour guide for Mitsos. The big walking tour of Budapest. From our place to the bakery on the corner and further to the river, over the bridge, and up Castle Hill. And from there in a circle back home again. Since I have been to Budapest so many times, I spare you the same pictures. I focused mainly on buildings this time. But if you want to see more of Budapest, All the Budapest Posts.
On the way to the bakery on the corner. A 1969 Ford Capri. We had a Silver one when I was a kid. The lowest car on the streets of Stuttgart at this time.
