Eurotrip: Hungarian Invasion

I have labelled these posts “Eurotrip” without so far reaching the continent. But this day was the day that was all going to change, because we were off to Budapest to begin a Viking river cruise through Europe! This was sponsored by my parents, who wanted to lure the kids in to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. My super amazing wife and I were of course delighted to fall into the trap of a family cruise through Europe, though we were easing into the affair. We had already spent a few days in Scotland of course and while now we were proceeding to Budapest, we planned to arrive a couple days before the family to allow us some more staid sightseeing. The travel to Budapest was smooth. We had a bit of a RyanAir experience, having to go from literally one side of the airport to the next as the gate changed, but we made it after what for us felt like a pretty quick flight. Going from the usual Scottish weather to a still summery feeling, warm and sunny Hungary was a pleasant shock…
