I am going to keep this post nice and short today. It is 1:00am in Budapest right now and tomorrow I have about 23 hours of travelling in front of me. Yeesh.
Anyways, today was so much fun. Half of the group left early this morning, so everyone woke up at 5 to leave Romania and reach Hungary in time for their flight. With the day for ourselves in Budapest, the remaining group members split up to explore the city. Some did bus or boat tours, but I stuck with Aaron and Phil and we had such a great day. We rented bikes and rode through both cities (Buda and Pest) and the island between for 5 hours straight. I can hardly keep my eyes open right now, but it was a day to remember.
Things we saw today:
Parliament:
Cathedral:
Heroes' Square:
(Random change of clothes? I know, we went back later in the day.)
Bathhouses:
Birds:
A Castle:
Fabulous Artwork: ...
Food:
The island between Buda and Pest:
Cool Statues:
And so much more. Then we went out to dinner and now I am here. I have to say, cobblestone streets are not ideal conditions for beach cruisers, and my butt bones feel like they took a beating today. Should be real fun on the plane tomorrow.
**Sidenote**This is a monument we stopped off at on the walk home. It is a tree for all of the Hungarian Jews killed in WWII. There is a leaf on the tree for every person who died. Very moving.
Ok. Good night!
