Behind the former iron curtain HUF 3

Well i know that my Hungarian post has taken a lot of time here but i will try to finish it in this post.



Let me first apologise for not posting much over the last month.Work and general life has taken a lot out of me .2008 was a great year in terms of Travelling and my professional progress but in terms of life in general It seems like something is missing.If i get that missing thing or not only 09 can tell.



Back to my travels which y u are here . Next day left Satako after an early start headed of to see the Gellert Hill,Castel hill(Buda castel) among other attraction .As i have said in my earlier posts I do stress Budapest is a very underrated city which is rapidly turning into a stag party destination .So see it before the It get taken over by drunk people.



views from the Castle are absolutely breath taking and the view of the city with the Danube dividing is really magnificent.Rite out of a bond movie , really


Back to the streets i wanted to get to a eat as much as u like restaurant .My sweet friend from France had mentioned about this restaurant where form about £12 u could have all the food u want plus Wine .That sounded like an offer that i couldn't refuse .


There was a problem all i knew was this restaurant was near Margret Island .This Island is in between sort of Buda and pest part of town divided by the Danube. All kinds of Motorised transport are banned . Very calm and serene atmosphere were i could see Joggers go about Used this time to have a bit of U time . And catch up with my diary on all the travelling that i had done. Had to get it up to date ehh and got my stomach ready for the feast without even knowing where the restaurant was .



After a bit of walking and just lazing around in the Sun .These are the moment when u fell bad about travelling alone!!! I headed out to find the restaurant .Nevertheless at the end of the bridge i could see a place



Went in and i was not served becs they taught i was waiting for somebody!!!!!! then it started from Wine and Goulash to shark ,Deer,Goat,Cat fish etc etc .I am not joking ate there for nearly 2.hours. The food was brilliant and the Wine was good .What more can u ask for ehhhhh....





Andressy station which is one of the oldest metro lines in Hungary .A change in this cute station




Szechenyi bath
This Bath has a lot of pools at different temp so u get in the warm bath and switch to a warmer one and then the warmest of them all and then cold bath at our 12 C and head out to the Sauna.

Want to know how i know this well after chatting with some Hungarians ofcourse, Made it to the hostel and headed out to see Gellerts hill in all its glory under lights and I was blown away .Its one of the best cities under light after meeting some americans and a couple of drinks later it was time to go to bed


Bhu- dha-Pessth under lights
