George Ezra’s song Budapest, one of my favorite songs, was playing throughout my head during my trip to Budapest two weekends ago (October 20-22). I, of course, had to do the obligatory Snapchat video while playing the song ;). I took my video while watching the sunset at one of the Danube River bridges, which connects the Buda and Pest sides.<\/p>\n

This trip was perfect timing. It was a reward\/celebration and something to look forward to while I had midterms during the week.<\/p>\n

This was my first time traveling outside of Greece since arriving in Athens in August after visiting Germany and France. The weather was a bit chiller then Athens, but it was nice to experience for the weekend. It made me glad that I chose a warmer climate place. This Florida gal did get to experience a weekend of fall!! \u00a0It was gorgeous with the leaves all changing colors.<\/p>\n

I went to Budapest with two of my roommates (Sarah and Hannah), Connor, one of her roommates (Joal) and a friend from Connor\u2019s school (Karina). It was a great group to travel with.\u00a0While in Budapest we stayed at a hostel called the Big Fish. It was a perfect location, right outside of the Jewish quarter and it was a quick walk to the main sights of Budapest.<\/p>\n

On Friday, we arrived in Budapest in the afternoon, went to our hostel, and then went out to explore the city! I had a delicious and warm bowl of Goulash soup and after we went to watch the sunset at the river and then walked around from there.<\/p>\n

On Saturday we took a free walking tour of the city. I would definitely recommended doing these where ever you go. I enjoyed hearing about the history of Budapest\/Hungary and the different people who had ruled over\u00a0 or occupy them. We spent the rest of the day walking around the city. It sure is a Budaful City \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

It was a great weekend in Budapest, however, leaving Athens did make me miss Greece and \"\"<\/a>its beautiful weather and the extremely kind and friendly people.<\/p>\n

Until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
