That's right! I am currently on the "Pest" side of the Danube, sitting at a lovely guesthouse on the top floor of a pretty old building in the city of BUDAPEST. Wow!
After a long day of travel, getting up at 420...how appropriate for AMSTERDAM, hahahaha...and then arriving into Budapest around 1pm...Rachael and I checked in to our hostel around 1530 or so. This hostel is a lovely, spacious apartment with several bedrooms, a large living room and a friendly hostess. There is breakfast included and laundry (for a fee), along with a kitchen that we can use to cook....AND FREE INTERNET. YES. This would explain the consecutive posts. I am so thrilled to have internet. This could be bad, though, cause I don't want to get too attached to internet and not do anything else anymore....gotta be here in Budapest! Well, I can at least check my email (and facebook of course) which is nice...and still get plentyyy of sightseeing done in the day.
We walked around a bit, happened upon a boat tour that was about to leave...and sat on the tour for a good hour. Once I got bored, I began talking to the girl sitting next to me, who turned out to be a friendly New Yorker on vacation. She was great, and even lived in San Fran, so we had a lot to talk about. I mistakenly thought she and her friend were in college, but it turns out that they had graduated YEARS ago. Oh well.
After the boat tour, Rachael and I headed to dinner at a pretty Mediterranean restaurant. The food was good. The service sucked. The waiter was really unfriendly, and took forever to bring us our food...as he stopped and chatted with all the other dinner guests. It was really obnoxious. Oh well. The baklava was yummy, though. After getting bug bitten ferociously (I THOUGHT MY BUG BITTEN EXPERIENCES WERE OVER!! As Rachael put it, they must've sensed that I had been decontaminated recently and decided to attack...hahaa), we headed back here...
which brings me to now. Just sitting and relaxing in the hostel!! Just met the friendly Canadian guy who took over for the lovely girl from earlier. A great place!
OK time for bed...exhausted. Night, friends!!
