Not so hungry in Hungary
Hello,
One thing that has surprised me about this location was that I havent gone hungry. Being very big on meat eating I was thinking that Id be forced to resort to Mcdonalds, but no way. I even found a vegetarian restuarant - it was indian but it still counts. Ive tried 2 local dishes, practically the only vegetarian ones but hey, at least I tried. Ive eaten like a King - I found an italian restaurant that gives me a big meal for AUD15. Very reasonable for a sit down meal in a busy tourist area. Ive eaten there twice and probably will go back again tonight.
Otherwise it has been fun lookiong around. It has been raining ALOT and Ive gotten soaked ALOT. But still Ive had a 3hour soak in Gellert thermal pools - going from bath to bath to sauna to outdoor bath (which was cool with the rain coming down and the steam rising and seeing people ride past) then from bath to bath to steam room to bath to a massage. It was great, considering I couldnt have gotten any wetter by sightseeing. I went on a tour of the Parliament house this morning which was great - its so ornate!!! Then went into St Stephens Basilica (I can hear my dad saying - not another church!) which was pretty and ornate too. I missed out on seeing St Stephens dried up right hand as there was a wedding in the chapel at the time... oh well.
I wandered a little this afternoon and am now headed across to Buda (I think I wrote that I was staying in Buda - my mistake its actually pest - pronounced pesht) and will take photos of the parliament at night. Ive been using the metro and trams like a local - thanks to a lady who gave me a free pass.
Off to Strasbourg tomorrow via Prague. This time Im taking a change of clothes with me on the plane. So next time youll hear from me Ill probably be in Switzerland which is a day after strasbourg.
Carolyn, sorry about lunch - making the next 2 looks pretty difficult too.
Jess, thanks for the card before I left - I had packed away everything so couldnt sms or email. Thanks.
Thanks for reading.
