Day 35 - June 19

Recovery Day

The day after our pub crawl, we did what any local Budapestian would do to recover - visit the baths.  We went to the biggest baths - the Szechenyi Baths in the park.  They have dozens of different pools of different temperatures and different mineral and sulfur levels.  It was nice.

That evening, we, along with our whole hostel, went on a boat cruise on the Danube where everyone is provided with a bottle of crappy but potent champagne.  The views from the boat were spectacular, but it wasn't the best for socializing because it was about 80% males and they're all drunk on champagne so it's like being stuck on a boat full of ravenous hyenas scavenging for their next meal... I mean social interaction with the opposite sex.

Vajdahunyad Castle - it was built for Hungary's Millenial exhibition at the turn of the 20th century and is made up of replicas of famous buildings around Hungary, especially of Hunyad Castle (now in Romania)
