I saw a Sphinx statue with boobs in Budapest. Say no more. Unfortunately I was on a bus at the time so didnt get a photo.
Hello again Hungary and Budapest. After another loooong border crossing-issues leaving Serbia but we didnt have to bribe them this time, then Hungary border patrol wanted to peruse our luggage hold. Note to self-remember to pack dirty underwear on top. If customs/border patrol want to go through my bag they can firstly go through dirty underwear and damp towels. Makes it more fun for me.
Well we got through eventually, had a short bus tour of the highlights of the city then checked into our hostel for the night. Not too bad a place, quite roomy.
Dinner was at a local restaurant and paid for as part of the tour. The portion sizes were ridiculous. Like bigger than my head. And this applies to the size of the cocktails also. Seriously massive. So stuffed full of Hungarian goulash we went in search of a bar. The bar we ended up at was like a converted warehouse. Huge, a bit bizzare and wine that could have doubled as kerosene.
We have a free day tomorrow to explore Budapest-no long bus trips nor trains. Plans centre around attending a Hungarian bathhouse, visit a Soviet statue or three and a bit of a wander. Possibly do laundary. There are also a heap of op shops nearby I am tempted to explore as I am sick of the clothes I packed (apart from the aqua icebreaker singlet, that thing is magic and is worn more often than not due to its magic properties-although it probably needs a proper clean now).
