Budapest

Hey all,
I am currently in Budapest. Sorry for the extremely long delay in updating, my internet was sporadic. Yesterday our first day in Budapest. The city is two different parts being, Buda and Pest. Yesterday we explored the castle (one of the most recognized things in Budapest) the old bridge and other things on the Buda side.

The money is taking us forever to figure out and we as most of the Americans here have decided its monopoly money and we have no idea what we are spending. Thank goodness overall Budapest is cheap so even if they rip you off it is still reasonable. The exchange rate is about 300 forints to 1 US dollar. This means we end up walking around with bills that are like 10,000 or 20,000 forints. So interesting. Yesterday a full lunch cost the 3 of us together the equivalent of about 15 USD for a sandwich drinks and all that in the middle of a high tourist area.

That is all for now. I will update soon.

With Love from Pest,
Erika
