Tuesday 30th August – Budapest, Hungary

---

Drive day again, and a long one! Sitting for that long on a bus when a lot of people have the runs is not great... every time there was a stop it was a mad rush to the toilet and the toilet's did NOT smell good afterwards! Our destination for today was Budapest. After a long day of driving we made it to Budapest and went to a castle at the top of the hill on the Buda side of town. We spent a while here and had amazing views of the entire Budapest. Our Tour leader told us that apparnently Budapest used to be two seperate towns called Buda and Pest then when the bridge was built to join them together it became Budapest.
Set up our tents then went had tea. Our bus driver is from Hungary so he met up with his friends then later on that night our Tour Leader took everyone who wanted to go into town to met him and his friends and went clubbing. It was a great night but by the end of it our clothes stunk and eyes were sore from the smell of ciggarettes (you are allowed to smoke inside in Hungary).
After an awesome night/morning a massive group of us caught 5 taxis back to camp.
