Day 16 - 14/08/14 - Vienna!

Archie annoyingly woke me up by tickling my foot >:( Left a note for our German friends in case they wanted to keep in contact (but they never did!) :(

And on our very quick 2:30hr train journey to vienna we sat next to a lovely father and son who kept calling everything fantastic! They were born in Hungary, worked in Italy and loved Vienna so were visiting! The dad kept hinting at Archie to marry me ;) haha, they were such nice people :)

Arrived at our destination and found the hotel that was meant to be £120 a night but we got it for half price?! Mint! We even had a telly!! 

Sat in their lounge with rubbish wifi to try and find stuff to do and a place to eat. Ended up having a really average curry from a market over the road that was heavily populated by no, not Austrians, but Turkish!

Eventually checked in, had a shower, watched a bit of german Malcolm in the middle and then got the metro to the main square where we saw people standing still in the middle of the street for no reason, a hand-made band and 'mozart's park'. Got some curry wurst searched for 'bau-schmau' that Archie apparently has when skiing, found some at the film festival and then got the metro to a cool travellers bar called the Travelshack :)

 

Met an Australian couple and loads of cool guys who we played 'nails' with. It's a really fun game where you take it in turns to whack your nail into the piece of wood with the small side of a hammer. The last person who hasn't whacked their nail in all the way has to buy a round.. And guess who had to?! Me :( 

Tried a snickers shot, an apple pie shot and a blowjob (shot)!!! Spoke to an English girl and Dutch bf and went home with a very drunk Archie haha who fell asleep very naked and very funnily!

Day 15 - 13/08/14 - Budapest!

Woke up and made friends (or at least we thought they were our friends... They never did add us in Facebook!) with two German doctors and went to have breakfast with them. They were going to the szgit festival but I think we had our eyes set on the baths (which were AMAZING!)

Tubed it (very fast, they don't mess about) to the famous market where there was lovely food and traditional souvenirs. Bought a few things for back home like proper paprika and a goulash recipe!

Walked over the bridge up to the citadella - very hot and tiring but beautiful views and well worth doing! I definitely was thankful for the waterfall at the end though! 

Finally found the holocaust memorial of the shows on the bank of the Danube and then decided to get a drink and some food at a cat cafe (which turned out to be rubbish!) stupid woman walking around doing nothing! 

Went back for a chill and got ready to go to the baths :) nasty man served me and nasty towel hogger woman :( but nice pools and saunas! Got pizza from the same street where we ate last night and went to bed xx

Day 14 - 12/08/14 - Budapest!

Archie woke up from our alarm and showered while I had a bit extra sleep time and got ready super fast last minute! Grabbed some sandwiches for brunch and hopped on the train with our reserved seats (we'd learnt!) 

When we got to Budapest we needed to reserve seats on future train journeys so while Archie sorted that out, I tried to ask where we could get the underground and how to buy tickets. Hardly anyone understood English or spoke it here! 

Got to Marco Polo (cool hostel name) very fast thanks to my ace map skills. This hostel was quite different to the rest we'd stayed in, the rooms were sort of split into your own section by wardrobes.

I freshened up and we managed to find the best Hungarian goulash ever! We even had homemade raspberry lemonade to go with it! 

Walked around the city to see the river and 'buda' side (as it used to be called when split) and stopped at a beach party for a drink and chillax. Back to the hostel, planned a bit on what to do tomorrow, and slept for the night.
