Sunshine in Budapest Part II

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, flowers were in full bloom…Budapest could not have been any prettier.  We read in a guidebook that you shouldn’t visit Budapest during summer because of the ‘stifling’ heat, but honestly, whoever wrote that lied and just didn’t want you to visit during the loveliest months of the year.  

We walked from Pest to Buda to see the castle and the ramparts, and it definitely didn’t disappoint.  On our walk, we passed yet another vegetarian restaurant by chance, this time a raw, vegan one.  We’d just had breakfast and weren’t at all hungary (I couldn’t resist, sorry), but again we were surprised at the number of vegetarian restaurants that seemed to be around.  Visiting the ramparts is free, so we kept things cheap that day by walking around the beautiful gardens and streets on top of the hill.  Getting into the castle does cost something, and for those of you with European passports do bring them because you pay half the price, and it is home to an extensive gallery.  We decided against going in because we really wanted to see an old castle in all its glory and weren’t too keen on a gallery that day, and we were trying to be stingy.  

So we walked and walked, and occasionally/frequently stopped because I had a horrible sinus infection and was a resident of struggle town.  The upside to this was that we could enjoy the incredible weather as it was simply stunning outside!  Without further ado, here are the photos.  Hope you enjoy them!

 

Chewy was feeling a bit peckish after all the sightseeing, and indulged in this artery clogger.
