On Saturday morning, Rac and I took the 10am train from Zagreb to Budapest. It took approx 7 hours...and was for me a loooong journey as, it was not air conditioned and the AUD1.80 triple shots of vodka from the night before got the best of me and left me feeling somewhat shit (all worth it though).
anyway...so we arrived at our hostel which is hidden amongst the most over-priced touristy restaurants. it is in an old building with a really old lift which have the wire screens around them with the two sets of doors you have to open to get in...i was kind of hesitant when i first saw this lol. however, its a small and quiet place, with a great free breakfast!
while we have only been in the city for less than 24 hours, we have walked and walked and seen some amazing sites. the famous chain bridge, the parliament, a palace, a bascillica and more. the architecture here is so old and beautiful. its like nothing i have ever seen before. i would have to say that this is already my favourite city. but by saying that this is my favourite city you are probablz wondering why i am inside writing? that is because, apart from walking all morning, it is sunday...and sundays in europe are dead. nearly everything is closed and there are not many peoplé around. so it was a good chance to write. I also intended to put some photos up, but the hostel owners have hidden the box so im not able to upload with the usb...sorry!
so, in the next few days, we are going to head to one of the cities famous spas, visit the grand market and see as much as we can of this amazing city...cant wait to tell you more about it.
hope you are all well at home and not missing us too much xox

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteamazing pics of Budapest.The architecture is certainly very impressive.I think finding a fav city will be difficult for you.
Pleased you survived the train trip, what was the countryside like?
That's interesting that life is pretty quiet on a Sunday.
Have fun exploring. We miss you too but are pleased you are having a great time.
love

Budapest sounds amazing!! The train ride sounds pretty bad but I bet Jurac didn't have the same probs as you lol. The building and old school lifts sound pretty cool as well, and who would say no to free brekkie!!
ReplyDeleteWhat box had the owners hidden? Is it like a box where you can put things for safe keeping or something?
Can't wait to hear about the spas and everything else!1
Love and miss you xoxo
Libby, the computer box/tower.
ReplyDeleteCheap alcohol would have been wicked nice, the idea is just to be pro and not get a hangover. :p
Let alone the train ride to match the hangover. :p
