S H F bike tours 🇭🇺 🚴🏼 day 11

Tis with sweet sorrow, at 3 a.m tonight, well, actually in the morning, we bid adieu to Budapest, our newly made friends, and Hungary. Then it's  bon jour for bike trip part two.  

Here are some parting shots of this fascinating city. 

Budapest Tortenetic museum 

Castles in the background, tram in foreground. 

Dohany Zsinagoga - Jewish synagogue.  14,000 Jews survived the holocost here.

World renown opera house. 

The house of terror museum. What a sobering experience to go through this place. Thousands of Hungarians lost their lives during the years of nazi and soviet occupation.  In addition to the history you already know, there was an uprising resistance confrontation in October 1956. Many many lives were lost, families torn apart and heartache that could not possibly heal in one's lifetime. Absolutely in inconceivable. This building was the nazi headquarters and later a prison and more used by the soviets. 

Heroes square ... Again ....in better lighting. 

View from Gellert's point and the citadel.  

Liberty monument 

Kitty....  You can not see me, I am hidden...

The last of the Minnesotans plus a few up state New Yorkers. Hope to see them in the future!

Transfer day tomorrow.  So excited to meet up with Brenda in Paris !!  Check in tomorrow to find out if we successfully connect....
