Budapest

Things have slowed down for us in Budapest. We have more free time and less planned outings. We arrived in Budapest in the evening, did a quick walk around Castle Hill, and then drove up to look at the Holocaust Memorial.  Laura and I had gyros at the restaurant next to our hostel for dinner.

The next morning we woke up pretty early (our roommates were just coming in from the night before) and left to go back to Castle Hill to get some better pictures. We did not know, however, that this was a 5 mile walk almost all up hills and stairs :( 

There was a strange man there letting people take pics with this eagle for €6. 

We had made reservations at the thermal baths, so we went there next. On our way, we passed Hero Square. 

When we arrived at the spa, I decided to try the pedicure where the fish come and nibble on your feet. It surprisingly wasn't a ticklish experience. I don't think it did much though. The baths had varying temperatures to sit in, but tons of different pools to choose from. Some where inside and there was a huge one outside. Supposedly the water helps heal ailments. Laura and I decided to try the steam rooms too. 

We did a hop on hop off tour after that which took us back to the hostel. At dinner that night Laura ended up fainting and hitting her head on the table as she was collapsing. We ended up having to go to the hospital to get an X-ray done. 

Communicating at a foreign historical was an interesting experience. Also, when we walked in, we noticed that there we tons of head trauma patients with intense injuries in there. They just kept coming in. It was the weirdest thing. We finally got back to the hostel around 3am. Everything was ok. We got up around 7 to make our way to Ljubljana (no idea about this place).
