July 11 Vac-esztergom

Short overnight boat ride from Budapest up to vac.  Classic european town - ruined castle,  big church, town square, outdoor market.  After tooling around for about half hour, we all met up coincidentally at the synagogue (no jews left here, but shul in good shape).  Turned west along the river, heading upstream for first time.  Path in hungary not as perfect as in Austria but its well marked so avoided getting lost.  River wider here than prior days, and seeing more houses/boats/swimmable areas.  Took ferry back over river at szob, then quick tour around esztergom, and its VERY BFC before 4pm departure - long sail back to Vienna tonight.  Bbq/pirate night on the ship!  50km.
