Day 17

On Day 17, we took a tour bus, the Hop On Hop Off bus to see most of the tourist sites in Budapest. We got off in the Castle District of Budapest where the Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion are located, as well as many other things. It's a very beautiful area and we walked through the whole thing and got some interesting pictures.

We also quickly saw the Citadella, a 19th century fotress built by the Habsburg royal family. We also got some great views from here.

We ate at a restaurant called Stex where Tyler got his goulash and I got a Caesar salad. We noticed later that there was a roulette table on the top floor, but it seemed separate from the restaurant. At least, that's our story...

That night we had a long conversation with one of the Hungarian hostel employees wo we will call Attilla. He was asking us about English words, and whether he should visit Canada (Vancouver), Australia, or New Zealand. We convinced him that Canada or New Zealand was the place to go, because of his interest in winter sports and fishing.

I'm Yours by Jason Marz is playing right now. :)

The Habs won for the 4th straight time last night, 4-1. Tanguay got a couple more goals. And the Sens lost against the Bruins...too bad so sad.
