    Arrived in the City of Baths

    July 3, 2018 in Hungary ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    The flight from Zurich to Budapest, Hungary was beautiful. At the airport we, two friends of mine and I, asked the information desk how we could get to the city and they kindly explained it to us. We took the train and afterwards the tram to get there. After arriving in our small hostel, we decided to explore the city. My friends suggested to take the Hop off and Hop on bus tours to get to know the city. That was the first time for me and I wasn't to excited about it, haha. We saw the Buda Castle and the Gellért Hill with the beautiful waterfall. Else I didn't take so much photos of that day, because I was too exhausted and wanted to enjoy the busride fully.Read more

    Exploring by water and roads

    July 4, 2018 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Today we decided to do a boat tour on the Danube River. The weather was mild and it rained occasionally. But that didn't bother us, we enjoyed the boat tour a lot and we got to see another point of view of this beautiful city.
    After that we went to a Cat Café because all three of us love cats. There were a lot of unbelievable cute cats and the things to eat and to drink were great to at the café. 10/10 would go again, 13/10 would pet again.

    *cries in Australian*

    July 5, 2018 in Hungary ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    This day we visited the Zoo of Budapest. There were sooo many cute animals. Again the weather wasn't the best but that's no problem for us. We saw sleeping giant otters, eating prairie dogs (I think), aussie wallabys, a baby elephant, a chilling tiger and much more. It's really worth a visit because it's beautiful made. Oh and in case you were asking yourself why I chose that title.. Well, I saw there my absolute favourite animal: the Australian Wombat. It was the first time I've seen one and I was so happy, it made me cry. Yep, I was literally crying in a Zoo because of a Wombat. Unfortunately it was way too dark to take a photo, so you have to imagine one.
    The famous Széchenyi Medicinal Bath was nearby so we stopped there for a few hours. And oh boy, I tell you we got lost in there. There were so many baths with all kinds of temperatures. We couldn't even decide were we should get in. Also the architecture of the whole bath is stunning and defenitely worth a visit!
    Later on that evening we went to the nearby Heroes' Square. It was slowly getting dark but we stayed for a long time to make silly pictures and to talk a bit. Afterwards we walked to the Street Food Karavan and I can't recommend it enough! There is all kind of foods and it was perfect for us because all three of us are veggies and we were able to enjoy delicious vegan burgers. So defenitely visit it!    Read more

    Day full of impressions

    July 6, 2018 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    This day we went to the Buda side and visited the Buda Castle and the Matthias Church on the Buda Hill. We found an Italian Restaurant and enjoyed a delicious mail I can't think of, but it was probably Pizza (what else?).
    Then we went down to the Labyrinth under the Buda Castle. It was moist, it was dark and it was foggy. I would lie if I told you, I nearly wet my pants. And it didn't helped that there were dolls and a lot of blue light and some part where there wasn't light at all. But I tell you, it was so much fun to walk around and sometimes seeing another lost visitor. Also there was a great throne to take great pictures with my two sheep.
    After that we went to the Parliament Palace of Hungary. Truly one of the most stunning buildings I've seen so far. There were so many details you coud have observed. Also there was an exhibition and memorial of the massacre occurred on 25th October in 1956 under the square. I didn't take any picture out of respect of all the victims but I can tell you that it was really interesting and very well made. I've never heard of that happening and I was a little bit shocked to hear and read about it.
    We spent some time on the square and took again some silly pictures. Enjoy.
    Afterwards we sat down on a bench and decided to go looking for the famous Shoes on the river side of the Danube. After walking around for a bit we found them. The memorial is really well made and delivered the message clearly. We felt that it was a sad place. There were lot's of candles, flowers and other gifts.    Read more

    Last day

    July 7, 2018 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Our flight left in the evening, so we got half a day in Budapest. And I knew exactly what I wanted to do: I saw that there was a Frida Kahlo exhibition in the Art Museum and me being an art enthusiast I had to visit it. My friends went instead to the Gellért Baths. I wished I could have gone too but Frida Kahlo was a priority for me. the exhibition was really beautiful and I were able to see a lot of famous paintings of Frida, which were normally located in Mexico. I had enough time to visit the permanent exhibition and it was totally worth it.
    After that I went again to the Buda Castle and walked around. There was a tower from where you had a very nice view over the city. I walked the hill down and were able to see guards (?) on horses. And then I met my friends again and we went to the hostel to pack our things and to make our way to the airport.
    It was a great trip and I still miss it. We ate a lot of great food and we saw a lot of pretty things. I will go back for sure!    Read more
