Journey continues…in Budapest
BUDAPEST.
First day: National Holiday. Hungarian friends advised us not to go to city center (near parliament) because there might be demonstrations or protests. So we went to Hero Square and the big city park (Varosliget) near our hostel. Inside the park, there is a famous spa called Szechenyi and Vajdahunyad Castle. It was built after a castle in Romania. The statue of Anonymous gave me a chill..The superstition says touching his pen brings good luck. I only knew this as I was searching it after I came back :0
On the second day in Budapest, we decided to check out FREE tour. It is free indeed, and we can later tip the guide only if we want to. Even though I also tipped, no one was forcing me to do so. I liked that the guide was very honest. He always told people two sides of the story, not just a good side of the city. That is what we tourists are all interested in. Anyway, we were all satisfied :) My friends and I constantly were behind, so the guide was always shouting “ERASMUS! COME!!!” I felt bad…hehe
Thanks,guide!
The tour finished here in Fisherman’s Bastion. Here we started our own tour after having lunch in the nearby mall. We went up on Gallert hill, Citadella and went inside a cave church! It was cool!!! 
Wow. You were right; the text is a little bit lacking. And the conclusion is a bit unsatisfying, haha! But I loved this blog post–it’s so inspiring! I want to go and travel and upload pictures of my travels. The photographs made up for the lack in text. Beautiful pictures. Especially you at Fisherman’s Bastion. Looking good.
xxoo
