Budapest Castle

After the boat trip, some people went back to sleep but some of us ventured over the bridge from Pest to Buda and went up the funicular railway to the 'castle area' the views from there were absolutely stunning. Unfortunately my camera battery died to did not get as many pictures as I would have liked to.

We wandered around the area experiencing th culture - there was a folk festival on, so there were lots of musicians wandering around and people in traditional dress, making traditional food and selling traditional crafts. I bought my mum and dad a piece of pottery, which is for washing fruit, but dear knows what my mum will use it for since after last year I bought them a Serbian coffee pot and she uses it for serving gravy!

We listened to some music and spent time looking around the market. And then we went to have some dinner and the ones who went back to rest came and joined us.

The restuarant was a place where Hungarian music was being played. Agi ordered the food for us which consisted of loads of different kinds of meat - duck, pork, chicken and steak - it was a lovely meal . Apparently the dish was advertised has being for 2 people, but it was enough food to feed 5 of us.

The night was a good night and full of laughs, plenty of them at me, because when I was at the toilet, I must have pulled the flusher to hard as it came off in my hands! Can't take me anywhere can you?!

My legs started to really hurt and get shooting pains up them, so Agi, Ava and Nemiah who were also feeling tired, joined me in a taxi back to the accomodation. As soon as I arrived back I collapsed on my bed.

I really enjoyed the day but I struggled a lot health wise as was feeling dizzy, sick and losing energy quickly - but am glad I went as Budapest is lovely.
