Budapest

This week I was lucky enough to get a week off from school. It was greatly needed, and it was very nice getting a week to relax away from the books. I took off to Budapest on Sunday with Taylor. After a long day of travel we arrived in Budapest. The weather was definitely a challenge. My Arizona-self has yet to adjust to the cold weather. I must say however, that it was completely worth it. Budapest was absolutely beautiful! It's a gorgeous city filled with lots to see and enjoy. We enjoyed some delicious Hungarian food and had an amazing time. 

We began our tour of the city on Monday. We walked along the Danube River and crossed the Chain Bridge over to Buda to enjoy the castle. 






After touring the castle grounds, we explored the rest of the Buda side.













It was by far the best Valentine's day I've had.

On Tuesday, we decided to partake in true Hungarian tradition and go to one of their famous spas. It was by far the best decision we have ever made. It was amazing, and we literally spent the entire day there. Unfortunately, we were so relaxed that we managed to completely space out and not take a single picture of the spa. So here's a sneak peak.


After our relaxing day, we had a long cold walk back to our apartment, but we managed to make a quick stop at Heroes Square.




Our quick trip to Budapest was amazing, on Wednesday we took off to Prague!
