Spending the weekend in Budapest was exactly what I needed after my crazy week in Morocco. Budapest was cold but not freezing, the food and drinks were very cheap, the city was very easy to navigate, and they have thermal baths! In other words, Caroline and I decided it was a "Treat Yo Self" kind of weekend. We ate lots of amazing goulash, drank hot wine (which tastes like christmas), and got a massage and soaked in the thermal baths for about three hours. The bath house itself was not as clean as we were expecting, but little things like that seems to slip through the cracks when you are in eastern Europe. This was also my first hostel experience (which seems crazy for how many trips I have been on) and it was so much fun! I met so many people from around the world, lots of Australians, some French and Belgian guys, a Brazilian and a Canadian! Everyone was really friendly which made going out at night a lot more fun.
