Day 17--The Jewish Quarter and City Wandering

We started our day as usual with a wonderful buffet breakfast at our hotel.  It's an amazing spread.




We went on a four hour tour of the Jewish Quarter in Budapest.  Two hours was with about 10 people and two hours was a private tour.  The Great Synagogue looked Moorish and the inside looked like a church.



The yard behind the synagogue had many holocaust memorials including this tree of life.


This was the information booth outside the synagogue.  :-)


There was a small, but impressive Jewish museum.



The Orthodox Synagogue was really beautiful and seemed much more like I would expect.


We had a great afternoon of wandering the city.




And ended with a swim in the lovely spa pool.  One of the prettiest I've ever been in.
