Ready to board Viking Skadi tomorrow...

[janmcn]

We're ready to board the Viking Skadi tomorrow, but have had 5 amazing days in Budapest so far and would like to recommend folks spend quite a few days here prior to their cruise (or after.) We had an amazing 2 days with a private tour guide, Andras of "mypersonalbudapest", which was fantastic! DO go out into the countryside to see Lake Balaton and the wine areas. This city is easy to navigate on your own, is spectacular at night, and has so many beautiful places to see. We were glad that friends recommended we spend more than a day or two here...about 5 is right!
