Budapest

This weekend, 10 of us bought tickets to go to Budapest for about 30 hours. When we got to and checked into our hotels, we quickly headed out to grab some food and get the night started. I convinced everybody to not go to the British pub right across the street, and we ended up a little place with some outside seating and some pretty cheap food. I ordered a cheeseburger (I know that this sounds pretty sad, but I hadn’t had one in at least 35 days so I was dying for a little greasy cheeseburger). Unfortunately it was unremarkable at best, but the good news was that everything was so cheap so ordering dessert was an opportunity to make the dinner a little better. And that did not disappoint, a couple crepes covered with chocolate and powdered sugar will make anybody happy. Also, it is crazy that you can get a shot of Jagermeister for $1, everything keeps getting cheaper and cheaper the further east you go. After dinner we went to go explore the nightlife in Budapest. It was a nice low key night, but we were all tired after the travelling and all the food we ate so we needed lots of sleep, even if it did come at 2am. The next morning, me and AJ headed out to do our own thing while all the girls went to go get massages and do girly things. We got to see a decent portion of the city because we followed one of the Hop-On Hop-Off busses by foot and saw most of the tourist attractions. Unfortunately we only had a few hours to explore since we had to be at the train station at 3pm to catch our bus back to Vienna. Overall we thought that under different circumstances we would have liked Budapest more, but since we were travelling with so many people, we always had people that didn’t want to do what other people wanted so it was really impossible to make everybody happy in the short time we were there for.
