Opening:
|
The mountains that form Europe's icy hub diminish as they roll east from Switzerland until, at Buda, they form a series of leaft hills. A fortified palace, a church with roof tiles bright as a Fair Isle sweater, the cloisters of the Fisherman's Bastion alike look down on water. For here the Danube, central Europe's mightest river, abruptly turns south on its long journey to the sea.
