Last Monday I went to the nearby town of Visegrad with 4 of the missionaries serving here in Buda. None of us really knew what we were going to see or what to expect, but we'd heard good things about it. The day was an adventure from beginning to end--from nearly missing the bus, to being let off in the middle of nowhere, to slipping up and down to muddy trails in the rain. We had a lot of fun. Visegrad is a tiny town --maybe 1500 people-- with the key attraction being a really old deteriorating castle on the hill overlooking the Danube. Unfortunately the castle is only open on weekends during the winter, so we couldn't go inside. Here are some pictures of the day:
The castle on the hill behind all the fog:
Overlooking the Danube from the castle--the fog was so thick that we could hardly see anything:
On the trail:
Posing with Sister Glade--the seats were wet so we were just trying to perch on the edge:
I'm not sure if climbing on castle walls was a mission-approved activity :)
An authentic catapult:
