For those members who are considering joining our tour group, we hope these articles will convince you that a trip to Hungary is an exciting and reward­ing experience you will never forget. We begin our series with a look at Hungary’s capital, Budapest. Budapest is cut by the Danube River into two distinct parts, like the rest of Hungary. To the right of the river is the province of Transdanubia with its gently un­dulating countryside; to the left lies the Plain stretching as far as the eye can see and beyond. In the same way, the old dis­tricts of Buda are found on the right bank of the Danube. Resem­bling the Transdanubian country­side in character, they are built on the Buda hills interspersed with valleys or flat areas opening to the north or south between the river and the mountains. In the center, nearly parallel with the course of the Danube, stands the plateau of Vár-hegy PITTSBURGH — Anyone wish­ing to join the fun and excitement aboard the William Penn Carib­bean Cruise ’90 must send there reservation in as soon as possible. The cruise will sail April 28 from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., for a one-week excursion through the western Caribbean with stops at Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Coz­umel and Playa del Carmen. Our group will be sailing a­­board the luxurious ssCosta­(558 ft.) crowned by the old Royal Palace. At the foot of the mountains rise the chalky and muddy thermal springs of József - hegy and Gellért-hegy. The districts of Pest, on the Plain and left bank of the Danube, are built on a pebbly clay and Riviera, the 700-foot-long jewel of the Italian Costa Cruise line. Your cruise package will in­clude ocean transportation and accommodations, all meals and entertainment aboard ship, ground transfers, port taxes, in­ternational departure tax and air­port security charge. The total cost for the cruise is $1,150 per person for those in inside cabins and $1,250 per person for those in outside cab­sand layer deposited by the river. Limestone terraced heights mark the boundaries of this sedimen­tary area to the south and east. Like those of Buda, the artesian wells of Pest offer an abundance of warm health-giving water.

Few cities can claim the advantages of both river and mountain, a long past and a living present. In addition, Budapest is the hub of Hungary’s political, economic and cultural life and a celebrated watering place. Historians trace Budapest’s beginnings beyond the first cen­tury A.D., when the Romans came and established their mili­tary camp of Aquincum. Since that time, the city has been held in turn by the Huns, Ostrogoths, Lombards, Avars, Monguls, Turks, Habsburgs, and Austrians. Finally, in 1867 the Austro- Hungarian Compromise took ef­fect, and six years later, Pest, Buda and Óbuda (Old Buda) were combined to form what is now Budapest. Present-day Budapest is filled with reminders of its rich and colorful history. Its central loca­tion in Europe help makes Buda­pest one of the most exciting cities in the world.
