May 10 On account of not getting home until after 1am and my roommate being quite the creeper, I had a very late start to my day. I was also talking to the hostel owner about a guide for the underground part of the fortress as Milos had said he knew a guy. Jarkof (the owner... Continue Reading →
Victory Day!
May 9 It was a beautiful day when I woke up so I went out and got a smoothie and relaxed in the square in between St. Mary’s Church and City Hall for a while and watched the workers get ready for the concert later that day. Then I decided to go try Ananda, a... Continue Reading →
Novi Sad
May 6 I asked the hostel receptionist for a recommendation for some lunch/dinner and she recommended a local place that she said was good and inexpensive. Of course since it was like 4pm I was the only one in there and the waiter didn't exactly seem happy to have to work. Since I planned for this... Continue Reading →

This train was like the Christmas train that rides around Redmond Town... Continue Reading →

Last day in Budapest
May 2 My last day in Budapest 😦 My first stop was the Central Market Hall which again is a lot like Pike Place Market. The bottom floor seemed to be mostly locals buying meat, cheese and vegetables. The 2nd floor was definitely the tourist section. There were souvenirs stands along most of the floor... Continue Reading →
May Day
May 1 Today is a national holiday in Hungary- International Worker’s Day. Mark told me that in celebration, there would be an air show over the Danube with Red Bull planes putting on a show and a jumbo jet flying through the famous Chain Bridge. It started at 10 and I attempted to get up... Continue Reading →
Touring Budapest
April 29 I decided to go on a walking tour today, as Budapest is a huge city and it felt overwhelming trying to figure out what to see on my own. I figured a walking tour would at least help me get oriented with the city. My guide was named Regi and she was great!... Continue Reading →
