So much detail on the buildings. I get a crook in my neck looking up.
Today was a trip on the Danube. What an immense river with literally hundreds of boats of all sizes on it. Many appear to be long sleek hotels, making their way from city to city. Just two days after we left here was an accident involving fatalities when two boats collided.
Stunning!
Shopping Centre nicknamed the Whale.
In 1944, members of the Arrow Cross, the Hungarian Fascist Militia, murdered thousands of Hungarian Jews by ordering them to take their shoes off and then shooting them so that their bodies fell into the river. This memorial is made of 60 pairs of cast iron shoes, which are fixed in place along the river bank, on the Pest side, very near the Parliament Building. John visited the site on a rainy evening. The subject of the memorial together with the driving rain and the dark, fast-flowing Danube, combined to create a terribly sad and dismal picture.
