The same trip with my brother, we visited Budapest.  One morning we woke up very early, equipped ourselves with coffee & pastries and walked from the city of Pest into the castle district of Buda, winding through the staircases through the old Watertown up into the Fisherman’s Bastion….all before the first tour bus bustling with over eager tourists hungry to fill their cameras with photos clouded with other tourists.  We beat them.  🙂
