Budapest: Day 5

Thursday was rainy. It has been raining all day and made it a bit miserable to do much of anything. We began by going to the market again. We ended up getting langos because I wanted to try it quite badly. It reminded us of a pizza-donut-pretzel type of dough. It was deep fried and salty dough and you can add whatever you want to the top of it. I had cheese and sour cream. It is best not to think about the unhealthiness while you are eating it. It was pretty good and very filling because I had a hard time eating all of it.

After the food we took the metro to Kossuth Ter, which is the station right by Parliament. Beth spoke to one of the guards in french because he was more comfortable with french than english and he told us that the tickets were all gone for the day (again) and that it is best to get there around 8 when the ticket office opens because the tourists buy them all very quickly.

After this we walked in the rain across the chain bridge and went to the inside of St. Matthias church. It cost to enter which is different than the other churches that we have been to. It was very nice but not nearly as nice as St. Steven's and that one was free. We walked back to the market in the rain and bought sausages. I bought a bun downstairs for 45 forint but the sausage itself was 1350 forint. It was a pretty decent sausage but nothing that blew my mind, although I am not the biggest sausage fan anyways. We watched Up in the common room because we were both thoroughly soaked and did not desire to do any more walking in the rain. We have just been killing time with cards, games and reading ever since. I am just waiting for a sink to be free so I can brush my teeth, so I am sitting at the computer with a toothbrush in my mouth.

Tomorrow we will be trying to get a tour of parliament again as well as going to heroes square, and maybe also the house of terror and seeing the state opera house briefly. We also have to remember to call the shuttle people so that a shuttle will be able to pick us up around 1:30 on saturday. I think saturday morning we will try to go to the Bible museum that is not too far away from where we are staying.
