Budapest is the best
Entry 14 of 14 | show all | print this entry |
Ok Budapest is amazing i really enjoyed it. I got to the the station early after getting a night train from belgrade and hung around in the station waiting for things to open so i could get some breakfast and to avoid the rush hour on the metro, for the first time on the trip i felt cold but that was probably because i was sitting on a cold concrete floor in a draughty station wearing shorts and t-shirt. Got to the hostel and settled in before going on my first wander around the city. Left around 12ish and went to the castle district it was really peaceful and there were loads of old buildings including Buda castle and Matthias Church, i also visited the Castle Labyrinth which was well a load of dark caves basically with some exhibits etc. Couldn't get too close to the castle as there was a folk fair on. While i was around there was also the red bull air race so there were planes flying all over the place under bridges and things. After the castle district i went up Gellert hill (i think) where the freedom statue and citadel were took some photos and headed back down, walked along the river until i got to Margit island which seems to be a huge park with some old buildings, fountains and goths. After escaping from the island i headed back to the hostel and on the way back i met some guys i'd met in Sofia and Varna.
Went On a free tour the next morning which covered both sides of the river so i got to see some of the Pest side that i hadn't the day before, got talking to some of the people on the tour and after we'd been around all the sites like the St. Stephens Basilica and the chain bridge we headed out for pizza. After pizza we went to the Central market and had a look around but its just what it sounds like a big market type thing. Visited the city park after that and just lazed around on the grass in the sun and made plans to go to the Hot baths the next morning before i left.
Went to the hot spring baths and hung around for the morning swimming, eating ice cream and lazing in the sun it was great and for the first time my feet were clean obviously it must be magic water or something
