Buda, Pest, Bridges and Lions

This is a view of Budapest's castle from across the Danube the evening after I first arrived. I landed in the afternoon, found my hostel (which took a while--I got lost, and getting directions in Hungarian was a lot harder than I was expecting. It's impossible to pronounce anything properly!), and went for a walk down the river, across the bridge in the picture, and back down the other side of the river.

It's not the greatest picture I took, but one of the only ones of the whole front of the castle. The bridge, I figure, is an added bonus. There are lions standing guard at both ends.


It was quite dark by the time I got back to the hostel. A little nerve-wracking as I had some difficulty getting around a construction site without getting lost, but I worked it out, found the bridge, and got back to the hostel before my exhausted feet decided to mutiny.
