Fall Break II- Budapest: November 1st- 3rd

After getting little sleep on the overnight train, we arrived in Budapest at 8:30 am and decided to go out and explore right away. We crossed the river to Buda and found where the old castle was and walked around there. We could see the parliament building that was in Pest which is one of the biggest parliament buildings in the world.

After exploring Buda we went on the Pest side of the city and looked at the Parliament building up close and then made our way to the communist museum. Our hostel director described it as "depressed" and he was accurate.

My favorite part of our stay in Budapest was going to the Turkish Baths. We went to The Széchenyi Spa, the biggest in Budapest. It was so relaxing to be able and enjoy the baths while it was raining because the baths were so warm. It was a nice break from our hostel showers.
