Birthday trip

A real sagittarius loves to travel and takes every chance to do so. So I booked a weekend trip to Budapest, Hungary as a birthday gift to myself. This was my 2nd visit to Budapest and God knows which time in Hungary (used to visit Balaton lake a lot as a child). 

The weather in Budapest wasn't in our favor :( / view from Citadella

We arrived before noon, took a stroll around Citadella, went into the center, had lunch in a cozy Italian place (don't remember the name), checked in to our hotel (unfortunately, it was such a disappointing place and it's not worth mentioning) and later took a boat ride. 

Danube river/parliament 

Finally got the opportunity to take a decent picture of the parliament building, but it got ruined by the lights on the boat. 
It was quite warm that night, so we hung out on the deck and snapped some more photos.

Enjoyed a glass of champagne during the boat ride 

The next day we checked out and continued our city exploring. We ended up having a slice of cake and a glass of hot wine to warm us up. It was so freezing cold and windy and I spent the last forints I had exchanged on warmer clothes. 


Being a food lover, I tried to get a taste of local cuisine, but I must confess Christmas market food definitely isn't my cup of tea. I had to satisfy my tastebuds elsewhere. My travel buddies, au contraire, stayed around and spent quite a lot of money in my opinion on food that was offered on those stands. They weren't satisfied with the quality of it either. 

All in all, this trip was just ok, I wish it had been better. There were way too many tourists and moving around was such a pain in the butt. Sadly, the weather made everything worse and high, unreasonable prices didn't help either. But at least I got to spend some quality time with my loved ones and although this trip has been exhausting and a bit disappointing, it's going to be a nice memory. Someday. 

Almost forgot! I also treated myself to a little something from Women's secret. I've been needing a new cosmetic pouch for such a long time now and I just couldn't resist this little cutie! I got it for 50% off (for around 8€)!
