Day 12, Szekesfehervar

After regretfully left the wonderful beach town of Siofok we headed to Szekesfehervar, a town full of restored monuments. This town had such a wonderful history attached so we couldn't wait to visit it. Every part of the town seemed to have some historical monument in it so we had lots to observe here. After we checked into our hotel we visited the Bory Manor. This manor was built by Jeno Bory. He was a famous sculptor and architect. After touring the manor we visited the St. Stephen Cathedral. This was the burial place of many kings in Hungary. We visited the Statue of György Varkoch. The statue is supposedly placed where he died at the gates of Episcopal Palace. After spending all day waking around we went back to the hotel to get some sleep because the next day we are going back to Budapest for one more day of fun.
