• Budapest Day 2

    July 28, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Slept in today and I went to the grocery store to buy some ham and cheese for sandwiches cuz I still had bread and cucumber from Switzerland lolll. Went back to the hostel to make some sandwiches and chatted with an Aussie who’s actually moving to Whistler in a few months! What are the odds? After that, I went down closer to the Inner City because I had booked a walking tour. The tour covered a lot of the history of Hungary and took us to many of the main sights and sites. In the tour I saw the main church, which was stunning- I love the little sculptures of people that are in the roof part. After, the tour ended near the parliament building, so I went over there to look around, it was also stunning. After that, I walked over to the Buda castle, which is on the other side of the river. The castle area is like a whole district that sits atop a hill. I didn’t go inside the castle, but there was a garden, a balcony type thing, and then the entire district to just walk around and explore! The views here were amazing and you could see the entire Pest side of the city! After walking around for quite some time, I walked back over the bridge to Pest to meet with Anna (the girl from yesterday) and we went to a pretty traditional Hungarian restaurant. I got Pork with mushroom sauce and potatoes, and she got cherry and raspberry soup- which I’ve never heard of! They were both cold soups, the cherry one had some cinnamon in it and the raspberry one was quite tarte. And I tried some and enjoyed them both! I didn’t expect anything like it haha! After, I went back to the hostel to rest for a bit before going out with some of the girls from my room! I really got along with a girl named Carmen from the Netherlands! It’s just too bad that she was leaving the next day :-(. We went to the same place as I went the night before, and this time I got to see more of the club and omg its HUGE!! It has 6 different rooms with different kinds of music, but theres also like chill rooms that aren’t for clubbing and outdoor spaces idk it was massive I’ve never seen anything like it. And also it was packed like a can of sardines too it was crazyyy!!Read more
