Szentendra Cruise

Saturday, I went with Elder and Sister Bagozzi, and Sister Smith and her daughter on a cruise down the Danube to Szentendra.  The last time I was on a boat, was when I was a kid.  We went to Pacific Ocean Park and rode on a boat that went out from the shore a little bit and came back in.  The waves made me so sick!  Since this was my memory of boat rides, I was a little bit concerned about this one.  But, the trip was very smooth and pleasant.  We had beautiful weather and cool river breezes as we enjoyed the beautiful view along the Duna.  It took a little over an hour to get to Szentendra and then we had fun walking around my favorite little touristy spot in Hungary.

Elder and Sister Bagozzi



We passed by the Parliament Building


It was fun to see the upclose detail on the bridge as we passed under it.



We passed by a houseboat along the side of the river.




And a riverboat restaurant!


We passed by other people enjoying the river's beauty!


This is the view of Szentendra we saw as we rounded the bend in the river.

This is what we saw as we exited the Ship.  They had booths set up with fun things to see and buy. 



A fun Paprika Shop



I love the decorative touch that adds to the quaint little town of Szentendra.


More little decorative touches.


A cute Cafe with a decorative sidewalk.

Every piece sold here is a one and only piece made by different artists.

More beautiful choices



Everytime we go to Szentendra, I see something new! 
It is a very fun place to shop or just walk around!
