Ok I'm sorry but I just have to pat myself on the back for coming up with that brilliant post title :) appreciate and love it hahaha.
So our trip has brought us to Budapest next. Fun factor everyone (I didn't know this one either): budapest is actually made up of two different places called buda and pest which are serrated by the Danube river and were amalgamated back in the day. Started the tour off right with a run with Tiff in the 38 degree weather at ten o'clock at night (INSANE!!). I don't think I've ever sweated so much in my life and I've done hot yoga. Felt awesome after though! But it also reminds me how much I have to whip my ass (literally) back into shape when I get home.
Started the day off with a walking and driving tour to see some pretty amazing palaces and churches. They have this really awesome colored tile style on the roofs of churches in this part of Europe which I really love. We then drove up to heroes square and got a better idea of where the House of Terror Museum was to visit later. Then it was shopping time!! Like needed to go shopping again (the bus packers must love me haha). Sushi for lunch too (good day all around minus the forty-plus weather that was actually a record breaking heat wave for the city). Went to the House of Terror Museum which was about the soviet and nazi occupations of Hungary. Very sad and even moreso interesting was that it was built on the actual site where the torturing of Hungarians during that time used to occur. Ere was even a torture room that was left intact. Very eerie. Also got to have some Hungarian food on a river cruise that night. Successful day all around!!
Next up was Vienna after a brief stop in Bratislava. Today we did another driving tour (I can't even try and remember half of the things we saw). I do remember seeing mozarts statue and St. Stevens cathedral though which were pretty cool. Did some more shopping which included a crazy cat lady purchase of a bowl for Fernando! Tried some famous chocolate torte. Soooo delicious!! Rounded out the afternoon with a trip to the schnapps museum where I was introduced to quite possibly the cutest old man I've ever met in my life. I wanted to steal him!! Tried many different types of schnapps and loquats plus some legit absinthe (shudder). Called it an early day and headed back to the campsite for supper. Going for a run later (if I post it, it makes me more likely to keep my word).
Prague shall be our next stop!
