Sights of Budapest

These are some pictures taken when we were shown around Budapest. It is a beautiful city, split in two by the River Danube. On one side of the river used to be Buda and on the other Pest. When bridges joined these cities together it became known as BUDAPEST.

Mrs. McConnell standing in front of one of the 7 bridges spanning the River Danube in Budapest. This bridge is called the Elizabeth Bridge.

This is a beautiful church in the centre of Budapest. There is a huge square in front of it. There is a dome built on top of the church.

This is a picture of the dome from inside the church. The red marble you can see in the dome was brought from Italy.

Part of the panoramic view from high above Budapest. The Hungarian Houses of Parliament are on the far side of the River Danube.

The Comenius group taking a short rest in the middle of their tour of Budapest. Our English speaking guide is the lady on the right of the picture.

If you look very closely you will see the temperature in Budapest during our visit! YES, you are seeing correctly - it was 40 degrees celcius - VERY HOT indeed!

This is a view of the Hungarian Royal Palace. THere is no longer a monarchy in Hungary, but the Palace is still a very beautiful building.

Sunset on the Danube! Gorgeous!

Mrs. McConnell, our German friends, and myself, would like to thank the Hungarian Principal and teachers for a most informative and interesting visit to their school, also being given the opportunity to learn lots about the culture of their country.
