Thursday 25.05.17 Budapest
Two down and two to go, starting the day
off early, more specifically 7.30 in the morning at the Parliament building.
They let us in at 8 o'clock though so we had time to kill. Inside we got a
quick half an hour tour of the building parts open to visitors, the building
itself was impressive also being one of the highest in the city. Afterwards we
left to go back to the school, where we just sat for a bit because we had
nothing planned. To continue the day we came to the House of Terror, which is a
museum about the way people were tortured during the period of the Hungarian
Arrow Cross party and the Communist Party regime. The museum was built into a
big house on the Andrássy street and had four stories, each of which focusing
on a certain period and every room having its own theme. As we left the museum
we went back to school for a quick lunch which in my opinion was very good
especially for canteen food. Leaving school ended the planned part of the day
and meant we could go out on the city. Budapest, being famous for its baths we
decided to check out one of the most famous ones in the city. Before going we
had to get flip-flops, which turned out to be a mission on its own and ended at
Westend, a large shopping center in the city center. Having gotten to the spa/baths we spent almost 2.5 hours there and felt
relaxed afterwards, that being good for our tired from walking feet. Later we
went on a wild goose chase to find a place to eat dinner, where everybody, all
12 of were willing to eat and ended up in a Thai restaurant, where the food was
good and cheap. Leaving to restaurant took quite a lot of time because
everybody liked the atmosphere so much. Once we were out the door the nightlife
began and we started looking around the city with everybody ending up going
apart by 22 in the evening to be fresh for the next day of school.
