Hoppin'

The best way to get to see everything you're "supposed to see" while in a city, is a hop on/hop off bus. They're surprisingly cheap (at least the one's I have taken). It was so easy to jump off at a stop, get our pictures, read the info, and then hop back onto the next bus. Sometimes we grabbed the very next bus, while other times we walked for an hour before hopping back on.

Budapest castle, on the Buda side of the river


Walked by this on the street...
 After the bus tour, we went back to the apartment to relax for awhile. Gellert wanted to take me to this famous bar downtown, so after some relaxation and a nap, we headed out. The place was amazing! Older people were there... kids with their parents were there... married couples... singles... It was just a really cool local environment. The decorations spread throughout the place were randomly awesome. The apartment building used to be part of the Jewish district and was going into ruin when someone decided to open a bar in it. There is a large open space in the center, with multiple floors that have terraces facing the open area. The individual apartments have all been opened up, allowing everything to flow smoothly. Whoever made the first suggestion that the place be turned into a bar, is a genius! It was great seeing such a neat place that ALL the locals hang out at.


After leaving the bar, Gellert and I headed to McDonalds. This wasn't quite the McDonalds I was thinking of...
