Third Stop - Hungary, Buda (Day 3)

The last day in Hungary ( the sad place for us.. LOL)
Well, today we are gonna visit Buda..
Another city in Hungary...
Actually today there isn't many things to do.. just walking and visiting..
Woke up early as usual.. and abuse the breakfast given by the hostel..
Then.. we head out!

First.. we visited the Chain Bridge... One of the famous Bridge in Hungary..
Well there are 4 bridge in Hungary.. This is one of them...
(And yea. actually we missed the Margret Island in Hungary.. no time.. sad, but there is only a thing there to visit.. a fountain. ~.~ )
Yupe.. we walk across the Bridge...
I realize it is not for pedestrian to walk.. its for car!
Omg. it is almost like a high way to me.. cars are very fast..
But there is a path for us to walk.. so it's kinda OK.. :/
The Chain Bridge and the Pest view.

Cross the bridge and here we go...Climbing the Buda Hill.. LOL.
Like hiking. :D
Took us like around 30 minutes to reach the top..
There is a famous statue on top.. Its call the Liberty Statue...
And we can see the whole Budapest on top too..
Such a nice view...
The Liberty Statue
Nice view of Buda & Pest. Opps.. I blocked Buda view.


After that we head down.. and search for lunch..
It's lunch time ~
We decided to find for any restaurant near here.. but couldn't find..
Conclusion : Eat in Buda Castle ( Next destination)
Well, it didn't went well...
We have to walk a lot.. Like 1 hours walking..
Damn.. I can't find any metros here.. Taking bus is too risky..
Don't know where it goes..
Nothing can be done... Have to walk..
All the way asking people..
Finally reach inside of Buda Castle.. Kinda hard to find the small entrance..
Had a wonderful lunch in a small restaurant..
The food was just fine.. price reasonable..
Dessert of my lunch.. Looks nice?

After lunch we visited place in the Buda Castle..
Taking pictures and so on.. Nothing much... But it's a must visit place.
Ohya.. they found the machine which makes the special coins again..
Fiona jie was searching all the way during the trip..
She wanted to collect all of the places she went in Europe.
Haha. Sorry for the SS.. I just like the Lion Statue.
The coin making machine.

We went back in the evening..
Again we need to walk.. hahahaha.
Sounds tiring.. well, it really is..
As I am in charge for Budapest.. I mean tour guiding them..
In the final place of Buda Castle..
I tell them :" OK.. so this is  Budapest." with a smile on the face..
They were like LOL... cause actually we didn't really know a lot.. I mean as in really a lot la..
But still we visited some places and took pictures..

The view of Hungary and the Chain Bridge.
The Buda Castle Church
A monument in Buda Castle. This is the place where "we ended our Budapest tour"
Wille Ko says that, this kind of monument is build to protect the citizen from disease in the old age.
They believe that it can stop the disease spreading the whole town.


But this time we found a metro.. and so we took the metro and head back to Astoria City.
Again.. dinner as in Burger King..
We even watch a Ping Pong match of Ma Long(China) & Joo Se Hyuk (Korea)
Kean Li ko was a pro ping pong player.. he was very into the match..
The match took place just right in Hungary.. but 2 days ago.. Sadly Kean Li ko wanted to meet Ma Long..
Since we will need to depart early in the morning tomorrow we head back early..

Back to hostel.. I saw the 2 Japanese girl again..
Well, this time we had some small chat..
They can speak a little English.. I can speak a little Japanese..
It's hard to find this opportunity to have a conversation with Japanese..
Walking around the world and meeting different, and interesting people is really very cool..
You get to know a lot of things that you can't find in books!
And that day I learn some knowledge about Japan from them..
As we think of Japanese we think of Sushi..
I though they were like eating Sushi for all their meals usually.
But according to them.. no.. Sushi is something like they eat when they have celebration too..
I was like wow.. its quite same as us...

It was really a tiring day..
Guess what.. we walked the whole Budapest...
Without using any metro we save money..

Tomorrow will be the last stop - Austria, Vienna.
Must wake up early in the morning... 4am.
Off to bed ~
Good Nights..
