The First Official Weekend

I've had a full week of classes, and now, a full weekend in Budapest. So many things have happened since Thursday, it feels like weeks ago..

The pubs/clubs here are very cool, a lot of them are 'ruin pubs', which are basically bars that are set up in half outdoor - half indoor old stone buildings. We've been to a couple, and it's always a good time. Here's a picture from one of them; multi-leveled, multiple bars and dance floors, and a cool ambience.


The next day I went thrifting with my roommate and got a really cute pair of leather booties! So exciting. I got them for a really great price, and they're the perfect fall staple. Later that day a bunch of us went to the International Wine Festival at Castle Hill! It was incredible. Buda Castle is an amazing setting to begin with, but then there were also hundreds of wine vendors and delicious food too. 







On Sunday, one of my friend's 'tandem partner' offered to take us on a hike! We went up in the hills past Buda and rode a chairlift up the mountain. From there we hiked to the top of the hill and had the most amazing view of the valley below. 

 

We explored that area a little more, and ended up in a really quaint little park nearby. 


All of that in only one weekend.. Not sure how it's possible. And I know next weekend will be just as amazing - we've officially booked our trip to Croatia!
