Buda

In case you didn't know, Budapest is in fact two cities, Buda and Pest, which are divided by the Danube river.

So today we decided to head to Buda. There isn't as much to see or to do as in Pest, so we decided to only spend one day over there. However, there is a heat wave in Hungary right now, and so we were both is this kind of stupor only heat can cause (I'm still under its spell in case you couldn't tell), and so didn't do much, and came back to the hostel not long ago. 

It was a very relaxed day. We just moved a lot slower than usual, and sat down not doing anything in particular quite a few times. We climbed up to the royal castle, and the view was breathtaking. We also visited St. Matthias' church (distinctively Hungarian and very different from all the others we've seen so far), contemplated going to the baths, and were too lazy to get our act together. We'll probably go tomorrow. 

I'm off for a nap, and we'll probably end up going with other people from the hostel to tonight's pub crawl. A ridiculous amount of drinks are included in the price. I feel like this is going to be something. At least we know we'll get back to the hostel.
