Blue Danube Mybum

[Jordyboy9]

The DANUBE,it’s not blue another popular misconception,
Grey skies and rain here in Budapest,but the hotel is beautiful,
I can’t help comparing,Crete has been my favourite place for years,
I don’t want to say to much ,as my wife picked Budapest for Christmas and new year,but only 17 days left,and maybe the beer will be good.

But "The Grey Danube" isn't as lovely a piece of music.

If the blue Danube disappoints you might want to give Greenland a miss. :-)

I hope you'll both enjoy it eventually Jordy. Christmas cheer and all that! Happy Christmas anyway x

Bah, humbug ...

Well it was brilliant blue when I went to Budapest one November some years ago

Hopefully the sun will shine soon, Jordy. Then you'll find that the Danube is blue - or green. Happy Christmas to you both. x

Is the river a bit murky like the Thames?

[Bobbisox1]

I wouldn’t say it was crystal clear TD but I was lucky, the sun shone making it very blue indeed

[Ellipsis]

Here's something to listen to while sipping your beer. A feast for the ears, if not the eyes ...

Thank you Ellipses, I love Strauss music

A rather lovely if wordy piece on the Danube here.

Enjoy your holiday Jordy.

Even the Tyne looks good when the sun shimmers on it:0/

The nice thing about Budapest is that all the public transport in the city is free to old fogies.

Jordy, you and mrs J sit back and enjoy. Nice gentle sight seeing.

[Bobbisox1]

They’ve got trams running from Buda toPest ( pronounced Pecht ) we paid but I wasn’t such a old fogie then :0/

[marval]

What a shame Jordy, anyway you both have a lovely holiday and Christmas.
