My son Alex did an amazing task of driving in Germany.
We were all on the road after a light breakfast to drive the 2 hours to Berlin, so that we could catch our flight to Budapest.
This was to be our first internal flight and on Ryanair, On arrival to the airport we dropped off. The car and then could not check in until 2 hours before.
We were pretty strict with our weights and our suitcases all come in under 20kgs,, with some carry on, so cudos to us.
We arrived into Budapest on the 22nd December and were picked up from the airport by APT and ferried to our boat. A pleasant afternoon was spent relaxing with a few drinks and orientation to our suite and the boat.
The weather was cold and raining and they have had snow for the last week.
Our boat is called Ama Venita and is only three years old, it holds 160 passengers
and we think that there is 145 on board.
Our suite for the next 15days
Our first night ‘s meal was at Table 28, a 6 course degustation meal

All in all Budapest was an amazing city to visit, as we only had 1 1/2 days here, it is well worth a revisit.
That night as we were having dinner we cruised the Danube and Budapest at night with all the ligs was a sight to behold.
