Have spent a few days in this amazing city - i think i could spend a few weeks there and still not see everything this city has to offer. It is amazing. First afternoon that we got here we did a walk around and visited some main sites. Out of these the most impressive by far was the St Stephens Cathedral which is probably one of the best churches i have seen so far. It is all golden inside and i have never seen another building glitter so much! The next day we went on a walking tour of the ci...

My original plan for today was to visit the Tropicarium, situated in a shopping mall of all places, half an hour south of Budapest. I got to the bus stop at 9.20am, as the Tropicarium opened at 10am and I wanted to get the most of my 24 hour travelcard, which expired at 11.20am. It turned out that the bus leaves at 8am and the the next one is later in the afternoon. I abandoned this idea and revised my plans for the day. One thing I'd missed out on yesterday was a trip to Margit sziget, a tri...

Wednesday was the day I'd set aside for the legendary Hungarian baths experience. I'd originally planned to visit the Gellert Baths in Buda, having seen it's impressive architecture in guide book photos. My new Dutch friend from the hostel, Nicolien, also wanted to go to the baths, so we decided to go together. She'd already picked out the Szechenyi baths, with it's neo-baroque architecture (and outdoor pools) and as it was cheaper, I didn't argue. Nicolien had walked to the Varosliget (City ...

Day 14 Heading to Budapest The main "adventure" of the day was the trip to Budapest (more on that later) but since my bus would leave at 3:00 pm I decided to call Marta, the Polish girl I met in Wroclaw a few days before, and ask her for a guided tour through Krakow. She kindly accepted my proposal and we met around noon close to the old town (it's amazing how friendly Poles are! All Poles I met were very friendly and willing to show their culture to anyone interested). As I had already taken...

Hey everyone, We arrived yesterday in Hungary on a train with some of our friends who were girls studying abroad in Paris for the semester. They are a lot of fun. We then met up with our Irish friends randomly on the way to their hostel. We are staying at Red Bus 1 Hostel, and the girls and Irish boys are staying at Red Bus 2 a 20 min. walk away. We then got settled and went to watch the games. Today, we decided to spoil ourselves at some of the famous Hungarian Baths! We paid roughly 2,000 F...

The last two are late, we know! Welcome to Budapest. Unanimously our favourite of the European destinations. It was a pretty huge city, but thankfully we were right near a decent metro. We stayed in an apartment just round the corner from the hostel, which thank the lord was a lot lot nicer than where everyone else slept. We walked up to the castle instead of paying for the funicular, saved 16 ...

... economy everyone has cars, but the city can't handle the traffic because it was not designed for it. And you could pick out the buildings that were built by the Soviets. They are concrete boxes. I mean, I could go on and on about everything I learned, but I will stop. It was an amazing trip. When we drove into Salzburg I thought to myself, "aww, it's good to be home." haha. I guess that is a good thing. I feel comfortable in my new home.

... because we were sure we could not have adequately covered the Budapest basics without a tour. So off we went. Our first stop was Hero's Square, a very imposing public space focused on an enormous monument built in 1896 to commemorate one thousandth year celebration of the Magyar conquest of the Carpathian Basin and, consequently, of Hungarian national unity. In the center of the square sits a large column topped by St. Stephen, the first Christian king of Hungary ...

... foods in the grocery store is very different than at home. For example, we have ground beef in the US. Here we have ground meat of some unknown variety and my roommate can't have pork, so we avoid it. Also, all the cheese here has holes. And almost none of it melts. We did however find out that "California Paprika" is really just what we call red peppers in the US. But the 5 of us (me, Joy, Matt, Pat and Tom) have been having fun experimenting with random foods ...
