Our Day in Budapest!

So, we set our alarms ever so excited for the coming day and to try the wonderful assortment of goods on the breakfast menu and wanting to awake early and prepare for the day…. alarm didn’t work and we over slept. Woke up 15 min before we had to meet for our walking tour! We made it off the boat and to the meeting point, eyes still stuck together but we made it! Again this cruise line is amazing they handed out snacks and water on the way off the boat and had buses with incredibly knowledgeable guides that took us to all the big want-to-see areas. Something that would have taken two or three days alone we did in a half day and left time for us to wander in the afternoon. We started the day and went by the UNESCO sites, the thermal baths a permeant circus, Europe’s oldest running wooden rollercoaster and the first underground outside of Britain. We then went to the castle district and checked out an incredible church decorated to the nines! Maybe even 9:45. Lol the whole area was on the Buda side of the river and high above everything else with spectacular views. There were many public bathrooms but these tricky little guys around here charge you to use them! So we found a Hilton hotel next to the church area and went right in and played the American tourist, acted like we knew what we were doing, wandered around till we found the bathroom and used it, free of charge and really showed it the what, what! We walked around the district and saw where they kept “Dracula” Vlad the impaler for two years in an underground prison cell.
