In the cycling package that we were given, there was what I thought was a plastic cover for our helmets in the rain. So, I wore it, wondering why it was so tight and why it had a funny point. Later, I noticed that other bikes that were parked outside, had this on the seat. It was to keep the bike seat dry when not riding!
Lining up for one of the three to four ferries we had to take. Later we skipped one and had a terribly busy road instead.
A basic ferry. Essentially, a platform moved by a tug.
One of the new, improved cycleways. Too bad they are not all like this.
This must be the way to the next ferry. Notice that we are wearing shower caps over our helmets.
Budapest! The ferry docked right opposite the parliament buildings. At 6:00 pm, the light was perfect. It took another hour to find our hotel. Good thing Carole remembered to keep out her map and directions. Mine, packed in my suitcase was not much help.
Carole wanted to ride the final 23 km into Budapest but after that last frightening road, I had had enough. So... we took the luxury ferry and arrived in style.
