world heritage site. but first the bus rolls past some of the city's principal historic monuments and sites like st stephen's basilica where alongside hungary and royalty and saints you'll find the final resting place of soccer legend fed and. then it's back to the bus which now heads for the water even though that's what they paid for the passengers are a little nervous. the audience of the danube is pretty rough today i'm a little anxious about whether the bus can deal with it hope we don't capsize. the high point of the trip is the splash down. the. aisle to the dramatic strains of thus spake zarathustra the bus descends a long ramp into the water i'm sergers heave
