Budapest Done!
So we met a new friend today, from Belgium... Goris is his name. He taught me a lot about the different parts of Belgium and the Flemish and the Dutch. I really enjoyed his company, I wish we could have spent more than one day traveling with him. But anyways, today we go first to the Labryinth, which we really wanted to do I guess, but after doing it, I don't know why. We had the impression it was this huge maze that was difficult with like a wine cellar and stuff. Yeah, they pretty much just told you how to "get around it"... kinda stupid, but there was wine, and it did flow from something in the wall. Pretty cool, but it was dark and we just stood in dark corners and scared each other... ha! Actually made it worth going there. After this, we go down Vaci street. Vaci is a big tourist street where hookers and other girls stand outside, try to converse with the tourists and ask them to come inside and buy them a drink... thats where it gets sticky (no pun intended). After having a drink or two with the girl, several large men will bring you your bill... and it will be somewhere between 200 and 1000 euros... yeah they scam you. So this place kinda creeped me out, and i made sure to stick with my group here. But then, of course after our lazy day... we go back to the baths... we couldn't get enough! We do much the same thing, but stay for 4 and a half hours this time! Geez it is so relaxing, I miss it so much. Nothing like this in america, and no the hot springs don't even close to compare! But stupid, on the way home, well all week I bought no tram or metro tickets, and just gambled that they wouldnt catch me. And it worked all weekend except on literally our last ride home! Yeah, they caught us, but it cost like 12 dollars, and thats how much i would have spent anyway just buying tickets all weekend, so it actually worked out all right. And then staying in the hostel, another low key night, cause those baths really tire you out! And that is Buda Buda baby!
