The Secret life of Matty Mitty

large_0.jpg
So, to the next destination! Budapest! Well, I took a train from Zagreb into Budapest, and I arrived late at night, without any forints! No stores were opened, so I didn’t eat, FOR 24HOURS!, checked in to a hostel. Sadly, no CS host from Budapest, and waited for King Matthias!

And how can we end a starvation? A feast! S$15 Steak @ Sir Williams, it was so good! I couldn’t even finish it!

Furthermore, we even has this Hungarian dessert, but I can’t recall the name!

We also went to the church of Matthias, it was amazing!

Weather was pretty shitty though, raining and all. Even tried a long exposure shot!

The next day, we went for the free walking tour and we met Arielle and Gosha! :D

Really fun bunch! Gosha, the funniest Russian ever, he doesn’t even has to try to be funny, anything that he said, was just funny! Arielle was the most chilled traveller that we met, and not a tourist!

And here was our tour guide for the day :D

We became such good friends, that we even went to Szechenyi together! And here is a photo of me, with Matty’s GoPro!

It was a whirlpool! :D hahaha Fun times man! Tried all the pools (almost all) and it was amazing! Felt so revitalized after! And Szechenyi is one of the better ones I guess, and the one that is worth the price! :D

And we thought we never meet someone from CS here in Budapest, Katalin offered us to show us around! Like what? Hahah, she showed us this amazing café. It was such a nice place, it was our little alice in wonderland!

The owner was such a cool dude, he has no menu. He just comes and sits besides you, and asks you what would you like, what fruits blah blah… and tadah!

But take note, he doesn’t lie when he says this.

Katalin even invited us to have dinner with her family! :D One thing I found out, Hungarians eat everything with sour cream! No sure how true that is, but lesson learnt – never do a shot of palinka on an empty stomach before dinner. I died. Passed out for probably an hour on her floor. Haha.

The dinner we had, and her mom even made us breadsticks for our journey to Krakow. So touched! Really thankful and grateful for their kindness, something that we can never repay back for! Even now, I can recall the smell of it and the taste of it.

Thank you so much for the lovely evening guys!
