Budapest Day 2!

Oh my god it smells sooooo bad in this internet cafe. Seriously I do not understand. But whatever.

I had a very nice day today, although I felt quite lonely. My hostel is not quite good for meeting people...there are a few dorky guys who sleep all day. I figured that means they must party all night right? But no...they just...hang around the hostel at night too...it is odd. I did not talk to them because they look like perverts.

Regardless, I slept about 12 hours, which was good because I felt like a zombie yesterday. Today I had a lot more energy so I went on the hop on hop off tour. It has about 10 stops and buses leave every 30 minutes. It actually did not rain as much today, but it was quite cold. On the bus I went to Erzsebet Square, saw the Terror House (I think that is what it is called) and some nice basillicas, went to Heroes Square, Synagogue and the Citadel over looking the whole city. At the citadel I could take pictures from the highest point in Budapest, and also a close up of this statue that is like their statue of liberty. I unfortunately cannot go to the thermal baths, which are very nice, because I have my period now :( However, I went and took pictures. A british guy told me that the thermal baths here are one of the top 5 things to do in the world according to STA travel, but too bad I cannot go. The zoo here is very cute, and I also saw the castle district, parliament and museum of ethnography.

On a side note a really smelly and dirty looking guy just sat next to me. He pulled his computer thing out so that I cannot see his monitor and he gave me a suspicious look. Ewww. Weirdo. He smells so bad that every now and then I have to breath through my shirt otherwise I might pass out. The sacrifices I make to write this blog O_O

Along with the tour there is a free cruise down the Danube River, which I went on. I was freezing the whole time, but I got some lovely photos as the sun was setting across the river. When I got off the boat it was night and the lights in the city were turned on and it was really pretty!

I also got a cup of hot chocolate with my tour and it was delicious. In addition to that, I had the best cappucino I ever had at a place called Coffee Heaven. It was great because it was the perfect amount of sweetness and there was a lot of creamy foam.

Ranking so far: Berlin is number one, followed by Vienna, and then Budapest. Although, if I had wonderful weather here in Budapest it may be tied with Vienna. I really like that the food in Budapest is really cheap. I can eat a good meal for about 3 dollars.

Ewwww, guy next to me is moving around and the wind from his movements moves the grosss smell towards me. UGHHHHHHHHH. Oh thank god, he got up to leave. YES!

Well...I am actually done writing so...
