Beauty and the Beard:
Bound to Wander

So its been three days since our last post. Sorry about that. Days 23 & 24 were pretty uneventful. Kaylea was not feeling well most of the time, so we didn't do much beyond going out to eat. We tried checking out a ruin pub (a popular style of bar in Budapest), but we couldn't find our first pick and the second was just a skeevy looking night club. We opted for another wine-night-in. Sunday we actually got a little bit accomplished. We ate a very late lunch for breakfast and then nailed down our trip to Croatia. After that it was more of Kaylea being sick. We decided to get a few groceries since our train rides to Split wouldn't have food. Unfortunately, all shops bigger than 200 square meters are closed on Sundays in Budapest.

We've grown quite efficient users of novel public transit, so we made it to the stop near our hostel without hiccup. From there, though, we could not find the building to our hostel. Aaron had to call the hostel manager, Andrew, who graciously came down across the square to get us. Before we were lead to the hostel Aaron had to pull out 50,000 Hungarian Forint to pay for our stay. 1 Hungarian Forint is worth about 0.0036 US Dollars. To put it clearly, everything here is chheeeaaaapp. Andrew, who Kaylea has dubbed Lord Andrew (Haha, as in landlord? Get it?! Shut up.), lead us through the entryway of a large, old building to a third floor ...
