A grey-skied adventure

This morning I hopped on the metro and headed towards the Thermal Baths, figuring it was finally time to see what all the fuss was about. Unfortunately, every entrance I found seemed to require a ticket, so my visit ended up being more of an exterior appreciation tour. 😅🤣 Still, the buildings were impressive even from the outside. At one point my phone ran out of storage, so I found myself standing in the drizzle frantically deleting old photos just to free up enough space for a few more shots.

From there, I wandered through City Park until I reached the Gatehouse Tower, which looked like something straight out of a Harry Potter movie. After a quick look around, I crossed the road to Heroes’ Square - at least until the rain made its grand entrance. As the first drops hit, I ducked straight back down into the metro. I got a decent feel for the square, but it’s definitely a spot I want to revisit on a dry day.

To escape the rain, I rode the M3 line to the Hungarian National Museum. My ticket covered a handful of different exhibitions, ranging from prehistoric artefacts to the story of Hungary as a nation. It turned out to be a great place to stay warm and dry for the afternoon. 😂

By the evening, the rain had escalated into a full-on downpour. After grabbing a few supplies from the local SPAR supermarket, I called it a day. Now I’m drying off, listening to the storm outside, and getting excited for whatever tomorrow brings.Læs mere
