Our next stop was the local markets, which are kind of like the Vic or South Melbourne markets, where we got lunch (the first photo is Fran, Monica & I at the market before we pigged out on all the great food there). It was very cheap even after converting to dollars. As we were in Budapest we were using forints so in our head we first had to convert the forints to euros & then the euros to dollars. Very confusing. Thank goodness most of Europe uses euros now.
After lunch we walked to the Budavari Labirintus which is a labyrinth of underground passages & secret rooms used during the war (I think). Sorry no brochure. Anyway it was pretty crap & overpriced so no need to say any more about it. Apart from the fact that although I am eating a lot, my bum isn't really as big as it looks in the second photo which is taken in the Labyrinth with Fran, Luke & Daniel. At least I hope it's not really as big as it appears!
Our last call of the day was to go to the Turkish baths (thermal water kind of thing) but after having a look & not being that impressed, we decided not to go in. I think we were all absolutely knackered as well & just couldn’t be bothered. It also meant we got back in time to go out for dinner with everyone to a place that sells huuuuuuge schnitzels. Monica & I shared one (see snap shot numero 3) & still did not get through it & as you can see from the photo, it is massive. We followed this by a quick drink (well quick for the non partying people on the tour - like moi) at a bar (Monica & I in the last photo).
Interesting fact - Budapest is separated into two parts by the Danube River & the residential side is called Buda & the commercial is called Pest (or it could be the other way around.)
