Budapest!!

Budapest was probably my favorite city to visit in Europe.  It was beautiful, all the food I tried was delicious, and the people there were very nice and most spoke English which was really helpful, so we didn't really have to use our miming skills in order to communicate with people since we don't speak Hungarian. During the day we went to the main attractions like the Chain bridge, Parliament building, Jewish memorial, Central Market Hall, the Buda Castle and St. Stephen's Basilica. We also went to the Gillert Baths since Budapest is known for their baths.  The baths were really relaxing, there were several warm baths inside as well as outside.  There were two pools as well, an inside pool and an outside wave pool. The wave pool was my favorite, every hour for about 10-15 minutes they would turn on the waves and everyone had a blast. The night life in Budapest is very lively and there is a lot to do. We went on a "Boat Party" which consisted of a welcome drink and an hour and a half cruise around the city while they played music on the boat. I loved it.  The "Ruin bars" are also really fun to do while in Budapest.  There is just so much to do there that the four days we were there weren't enough to even do a half of what we wanted to do. We walked a lot in Budapest since it's actually two different towns connected by bridges.  One is flat which is Pest and and the other is in big hills:Buda. They are both beautiful and in between them is a river. I loved it there and someday I want to come back to Budapest and do all the things I didn't get to do there. Here are some pictures of Budapest:
