Budapest!

Hey guys!

On the weekend, I travelled up to Budapest, Hungary with 4 girls just to check out the city. Both days were beautiful, sunny days ranging from 8-12 celsius.

After talking to people about my blog, it became obvious that no one really checks out what I'm writing - they just scroll through the pictures. So instead of writing a lengthy message, I just posted more pictures!

We took 500 over the course of the two days, so this is only a small, small sample!


Our train left graz at 6:08 am, so this is on the way there. Please note frost on the ground...


The hostel we stayed at was only a couple hundred steps from the beautiful St Stephen's Cathedral.

Rawr


The Fisherman's Bastion, served as an excellent defense location and lookout along the Danube river.


In Hungarian war lore, this bird (which is comprised of many different parts of many different birds) was supposed to have been the reason the Hungarians won a very major battle in their history.


The Parliament Buildings - taken from the Chain Bridge.

The Vajdahunyad Cathedral.


Gresham Palace


Heroes Square - soaking up some sun.

So that's just a very quick snippet of the trip in pictures! The hostel that we stayed at was very cheap, but it was on the 3rd floor of a building whose 1st floor was a club - so it was a tiring night for all of us!

Anyways, stay tuned - I think Vienna's on the menu for this weekend which will be a lot of fun!
If you have any questions, remember to post them in the comments box or send them to me!

Thanks!
