So we arrived at Budapest and we took the train (without paying as we were getting used to it) Train were dodgy and it scared us. It seemed to be train from the war. We arrived at the apartment and there was nobody but fortunately I announced that we should arrive around 2pm and it was 15 to 2. So we wait a bit and the guy came. The apartment was cool and so nice. We left to start the visit. The first thing we see was the strike against the first minister was we were next to the parliament. So we did not stop and try to look like we are not tourist as we were a bit scared. So we start visiting. It was ok but I did not find it such nice. The streets were dark and most of the business were closed or sold out. It was like a town after war (but it was not the worst we have seen). So we went to visit and we saw the Pantheon. I was hungry and we stopped in a cafe (it was supposed to be a French cafe). It was just disgusting. The women she did not understand a word. I asked for a cake and it was passed. There was a guy he asked for a cafe and she served him an orange juice. Fran and I were laughing. It was one of the worst cafes I have ever been. So after we came back to the apartment because I was tired and Fran too. On the night we went for dinner. We were scared on the street people looked so weird. They looked at us really scary. We walked and after we took the metro. There were a lot of poor people. We went to a tourist restaurant and unfortunately it was tourist so expensive for what they served. It was ok the food but not that good. I was a bit disappointed compare to praga. We went back to the apartment. The day after we visit a bit Budapest and its castle. SO we walked a lot but we were used to it now. We went up and there was nothing really surprising or really nice. I don't know but I think that I did not really enjoy this town. It was too "east" maybe. So we walked around and after went back to the apartment. The guy was nice because he said that we could stay until the night (as we had to take the night train to go to Belgrade). So we bought some food for the travel and we relax. And after we went to the train station. One of the scariest moment....
