Thanks for the compliment, Ski Diva!Y'know, abc, I know that things didn't go as smoothly as you would've liked during your trip, but you sure saw some wonderful things. Your pictures are terrific. Thanks for sharing them with us.
As dloveski just pointed out (or 'rubbed it in' so to speak), just imagine how beautiful it REALLY is that we were denied!
Like I mentioned earlier, I will quite likely get a chance to go back to Budapest sometime in the future. But for those over 70 (half of the passenger on the boat, my Mom included), it maybe their last chance to visit Budapest which Viking ruined. It's for fact that I felt incredibly sad.
