London to Budapest

I was planning on a sleep in today but I still got up at 8:00 so I forced myself to get up and do the fastest walking tour of London of all time. I walked past the London museum through a park and straight to Buckingham Palace. It was pretty cool to see the gaurds marching around. What a boring job, though. I'd be terrible at it. I took a few pictures and videos of the surrounding area and started speed walking over to Big Ben. When I was in St.James park enjoying the beauty a thought crossed my mind. I realized I didn't look at what time checkout was at. I looked, and it was a 10 am check out out. It was already 945, and I was an hour walk from the hostel. So I walked past Big Ben and took a couple of photos just to say I've been there. I started speed walking back to my hostel. I got there at 1030, and I packed my shit really fast and checked out. They didn't say anything about it, so that made me feel better. My flight to Budapest was at 330, so I decided to get to the airport early because I had no idea how the tube worked in London. It was definitely a little stressful, especially when I had no reception on the first train I had to take. So I just guessed and got off at the first stop, so I didn't go too far. Luckily, I got off at the right stop. I had to completely leave the first station and go upstairs and outside over to the other station to buy my ticket to Gatwick. Once I was here, I was a lot less stressed. I got to the airport way too early, though I had so much time to kill there. I got a quick bite to eat and went to my gate. I chose to go to Budapest because I just thought there was more for me to see there, and I wanted a taste of solo traveling. In my opinion the only reason to be in England Is for Liverpool or a layover. Im in no rush to check more of it out. The flight was straightforward. It was another pretty full day of travel, though. When I got on the bus from the airport to the city, I got to see all the pretty lights on all the buildings that Budapest is known for. On the way to the hostel, we passed a huge soccer stadium with a really cool statue out front. It was a massive eagle grabbing a soccer ball with its talons. It was one of my favorite statues I've seen so far. I got to my hostel to check in. I explored the hostel for a whil. Itt was really nice and clean. I went for a quick walk around the area just to check it out. One of the first things I noticed about Budapest was how clean the streets were. It was by far the cleanest city I've been to. I was just going to walk for a few minutes until I found a convenience store selling .5l bottles of hieneken for .75 cents CAD. I can't pass that up. So I ended up walking around for almost 2 hours. When I went back to my hostel, I had a beer with the old manager of the hostel who just happened to be hammered. He bought me a couple of drinks before he passed out on the couches downstairs. I went to bed pretty soon after.Leia mais
