I'm going to do little chunks so I can try and get it all posted.
This was the day we went up to Castle Hill. It was a gorgeous sunny day, but it was absolutley frigid! The first picts here are at the gates up on the Hill by the Palace. You can see all the bullet holes in walls from the 1956 12 Day Revolution. Its pretty amazing to see these holes in buildings all over the city.
This is the palace with all the Hungarian flags flying in front of it.
There are "ancient ruins" in the front of the palace that they're still working on excavating.

Looking across to St Stephens - near where we stayed.
Looking back at the Palace
The Fisherman's Bastillion up by the Basilica
In the evening, we went back across over by Heroes Square and had dinner at a nice restaurant by the big city park.
