Boat cruise on the Danube

What a fun evening we had on the Danube boat cruise!

First there was gypsy musicians playing violin/fiddle, cimbalom (a zither-like instrument) and double bass and then we were entertained by 2 folk dancers.

One of the dances involved the female dancer balancing a bottle on her head while she danced!

We were all invited to join in dancing - and most of us did.

Then we were asked if any of us played violin.... Hannah (violin) was handed the gypsy fiddle and played 3 pieces!

At the end, there was more music.

What a fantastic time - and a little taste of the folklore of Hungary.
