Last Saturday me and Jordan flew to Budapest! As I mentioned in my post about visiting Budapest it was a
city I had always wanted to visit although Jordan was never convinced as he
said Europe is “ boring” shocking I know!
We arrived late at night and the hotel was lovely and in a
pretty good location right next to the train station which we kept gasping at
every day (the McDonalds next to it is perhaps the prettiest McDonalds I have
ever seen!). As we arrived fairly late at night we decided to aimlessly wonder
the street to try and plan our route for the following day! Whilst stopping at
burger king. How British of us?
Day 1: the weather was horrible! Cold and snowing but not
the lovely fluffy white stuff it was wet and didn’t settle! The bad weather
ruined the day as it made walking around not enjoyable and the fog made photographs
even more poor *cry* that night it had stopped raining and we decided to go for
a meal, we chose a lovely Italian place after searching many empty streets! The
food was good and it wasn’t too overpriced just similar to English prices for a
homemade pizza.
Day 2: thankfully the weather had brightened up and this
made exploring all the more enjoyable! Although still incredibly cold with 5
layers on!! (1. Vest top 2.blouse 3.cardigan 4.jumper 5.coat…it makes it a struggle to look nice so
I thought style could take a back seat for the trip) We decided to tackle the
Hungarian version of the tube…with Jordan’s help we managed to actually get
where er wanted..something that never would have happened if I had been put in
charge of navigating! We went to the castle quarter and this is the part where
both of us fell even more in love with Budapest! It was beautiful and it gave
an impressive view of the parliament building! We went to a little café where
we tried goulash soup! Although I’m not usually a soup fan (my idea of
adventurous is tomato soup) it was delicious and definitely warmed us up! So if
in Budapest goulash is a must! Even if the name if it does put you off!
Day three: Today we flew back to Stansted and I didn’t want
to leave! We had a few hours to kill before we had to go to the airport so we
have breakfast at a place called Menza! It was lovely and was cheap! 2 bacon
and eggs, two teas and some toast for a little over £6!! One thing Hungarians don’t
quite grasp is a good English cuppa so when Jordan order a breakfast tea he
expect a decent brew don’t earl grey with honey and lemon.
I would definitely
recommend Budapest as it is such a beautiful city! I would love to visit again
in the summer! Ryanair have some brilliant deals on flights at the moment so it’s
worth a look!
I would love to know if you have ever visited Budapest and
if you felt the same way as me about the city.
Hope everyone has a great week and sorry for the posting delay.
