Having been to Budapest several years ago, day we toured on our own, and with the gorgeous weather it was the right choice. We hiked up the steep hill on the Buda side of the chain bridge (named for the look of the main suspension cables: they are basically bike chain links) beside the closed funicular and spent into the afternoon in the streets, restaurants and museums.
Returning after a nice lunch, sans wine this time, I walked Judy, the other Judy (Paul) and Melinda to the Budapest "eye", a large Ferris Wheel that they had been admiring since we came here. A ride was in order for them, to keep up their string since Singapore and Bangkok (as I recall), but I had no interest so I went on to a coffee shop and explored more of the area around the Cathedral.
