Budapest-Kisapostag, 27 July

Set off at 8 am for Kisapostag, 100 km downstream. Weather forecast predicted rain, but it was cloudy and then beautiful. Not as hot as it has been the last few days.

Jamshid and I with best views of Budapest.

Passing the parliament buildings. One the Pest side of the river.

View of the Buda side.

The famous chain bridge.

The castle on the Buda side.

The captain and the new first mate!

Some advice from the previous first mate, who by the way is so happy to sit at the back and read a book.

We are so pleasantly surprised to reach the little Kisopastag Yachtclub. What an idyllic place. We took a walk in the surroundings and found this tree loaded with plums. Unfortately the plums will only be ripe in about one weeks time.

We spent the afternoon on the beach on the bank of the Danube. 

Carl and Jamshid went for a swim. The current is so strong that I was worried that I would have to pick them up in Belgrade.

The brave Danube swimmers, Carl and Jamshid, after fighting their way against the current.

Dinner at the wonderful restaurant at the Marina. Our waitress, Vanessa, could about  speak 3 words in English, so it was quite a feat to actually get our meal ordered. We had fish and chicken, delicious! And so far two bottles of good wine, nyakas Budapest irsai oliver. The Danube, looking do calm and beautiful in the background.
