Busapest: day 1

On our first day we started off by grabbing breakfast. It was nothing too exotic: toast, jam, cereal, the standards. After breakfast we headed off to the National Museum, the largest museum in Hungary, and spent until early-mid afternoon exploring the exhibits. One of the most impressive rooms in the place was the first room that you entered after buying a ticket. I think I have a picture of it on my camera so I will try to remember to upload it here.

The museum took us through the history of Budapest from its beginnings up until around the 1990s. By the end of it we were both Beth and I were tired of reading and getting quite hungry. We went to the hostel and ate some of our snacks because we figured it was too close to supper to get food. Our first language mistake occurred shortly after when we bought six 1.5L bottles of carbonated water. Unless we can manage to find some syrup packs to mix our own fountain pop it will probably remain a casualty of war. It wasn't very expensive and it gave beth and I quite a laugh.

After the water incident we decided to see if the market was open. It wasn't but we decided to check out the Buda side of the city because the bridge was nearby. We found a neat pathway up a big hill and there was a bunch of statues at the top. You could see out over the whole city from up there and was good for exercise. When we came back we stopped at a burger king because it was easiest and something that we recognized. After we were fed we explored some more of the city and then headed back to the hostel.
