Budapest, Hungary

Our first trip out of Vienna to the beautiful city of Budapest. The whole Vienna crew took a bus ride to Budapest. Once we got to our hostel, we were in for a surprise. Our hostel, Carpe Nochte, had the craziest people from basically all over the world staying in one place. The walls were all painted and were just as colorful as the people running the hostel. On our first night, we went out with everyone from our hostel to the Ruin Bars. These were a collection of old houses, bomb shelters and schools that were now bars. It was amazing to see how these historic spaces were now turned into the hot spots of Budapest. Also we celebrated my friend Aly's 20th birthday and after that experience, we now know she has an alter ego named "Budapest Aly". 

On our second day, we had a booking to go caving. Now traveling in a foreign country without wifi or any general knowledge of the transportation is system is very, very difficult. We realized it would take us an hour to get to Pálvölgyi Caves and scrambled to find the quickest way there. We quickly determined that we won't be able to make in time to climb the caves, but we can do the tours. We finally figured it out and made it out to the caves. We decided to take the tour in Hungarian, which none of us spoke, and just read all the info from pamphlets. Regardless, it was amazing to see how nature had really left its mark and created something wondrous. 

After the caves, we left to explore the city on our own. As the sun set, the city started to look more and more beautiful. Every major building was lit up and shone against the sky. We explored the Buda Castle, soaking in every major sight and detail. Across the Danube, we could see Parliament, glowing against the water. It was, to say the least, magical. We ended the night at a Thermal Bath. This Bath party had lasers, smoke machines and great music. It really showed us the energy of Budapest. It was a "once in a life time" kinda thing but also "never again" type of thing. 

The third day was all about history. I went on a free walking tour of the Jewish Quarter of Budapest. I realized there is so much we aren't taught as Americans about World War 1 and 2. Being in the Jewish Quarter made me really think about how the Jewish were treated in the Hapsburg Empire and their importance. We also had the opportunity to see beautiful synagogues. Our tour ended at one of the most famous bars in Hungary called Szimpla. During the day Szimpla is an open market for all things yummy. That was definitely the highlight of my trip. 

It was sad to leave Budapest but it made me all the more excited for trips in the future.
