Budapest!

I just got home from a very eventful weekend in Budapest! This was a perfectly planned trip, considering we just bought the plane tickets last week (and for only 50 Euro might I add ! ). We stayed at a nice hostel for only $8 a night on the main street, and managed to fit in all the major sights, such as the Budapest Parliament, Heroe's Square, 2 castles, 2 cathedrals, and the largest Synagogue in Europe! The best of all was our 3 hours of relaxation and spa treatment at the Rudas Hot Springs! We treated ourselves to a Aroma Massage and a day pass to the hot springs with all natural hot mineral water that comes out from the ground! It is definitely something you must experience when in Budapest!! Another great experience was the food... I ate all traditional Hungarian food the entire time, which is both very unique and delicious! We had everything from Spatzle, to Chicken Pancakes, and Veal Stew, followed by some yummy Hungarian pastries! There was even a Pizza place called Marxim run by communists with all sorts of Communist symbols inside that we ate at haha!
We went out to the clubs every night, which is something I will have to tell you all about in person, because I have some crazy stories for you! The best club was Dokk, which is on a small island and is one of the top techno/house clubs in Eastern Europe. We scored a free bottle of Champagne there from the DJ who was handing them out all night, and even managed to gain access in the VIP area where we could people watch from 30 feet above! The clubs were filled with some of the wierdest and craziest party goers I have ever met, as all of the clubs don't end until 5am and all have included entry to the "after party" which is typically at a venue across the street that starts at 5am and goes until 9am. We weren't crazy enough to make it to the after party and stood out like sore thumbs leaving the clubs at 3:30am, since taxis don't even start coming by until around 4. Overall, this was an excellent trip, and I highly recommend Budapest! I feel like I truly lived the life this weekend, and I did it all on under $100 including the flight!
