Budapest

Report..... Got in close to midnight on Friday. Checked into a hostel called Paprika which is close to the main train station. Went out for a few beers.
Next morning, one of the hostel staff gave us the lo-down. He was really helpful and circled a load of suggested attractions/things to do on the map. We strolled from our hostel down to the Danube and followed it south to the central market. Had a browse about there, then crossed the bridge to Buda. Strolled up to the Citadel and Castel hill, then onto the Fishermans Bastion. By the time we got here, the view across the river to Pest was a lovely shade of pink. It got dark at about 4.30pm, so we kept walking along the Buda side of the river, but heading north. The idea was to walk across the bridge connecting Buda-Pest and the Island, swing back via the Parliment then head back to the hostel. We walked alot. Got half way across the bridge and worked out only half of it was open as there was loads of construction going on... so we could get onto the island, but not back to Pest. So we about turned, ate some sausage (purchased earlier at the market) and backtracked. To rest our weary legs we found a Belgium Beer Cafe - yes a bit of a cop out when in Hungary, but we needed to sit down. This place had scaffolding out the front, and I'm not sure of the name, but it was next to the Victoria hotel and they had about 150 beers on their menu. We sat there long enough to forget about our tired legs, then headed to Loics recommendation for nosh - "Szent Jupat" in Moskva Ter. The portions were gigantic, and it was about £25 for 2 courses and drinks for 2.
We strolled back to the hostel, had a few local beers, then went out to a bar called Instant on Jokai Utca. Brilliant bar - more like a club, with a bit of drum and base/dub step down stairs, an airy pretend outdoor bit on the ground floor and another dj room upstairs. Ended up staying there til about 6am. Fun times. Sunday we weren't exactally early to rise, but we strolled down to the Heros square and the Széchenyi Baths. Had a good soak - they're bloody awesome. So grand and the outside pool is brilliant. They seem to randomly turn on different jets/whirl pools and everyone gets involved.
On Monday we strolled back to the markets and had one last session of food and booze from another travelers recommendation. 2 hours all you can eat/drink for £10 each, and not bad stuff.

Ahh, I think that is about it. All in all I really enjoyed Budapest. The people were so nice and you could have a proper laugh with them. 4*s and highly recommended for a mini break.
