Sore feet
Jo, my new South African friend, and I went out touring. We started with a mission to see the Danube. Check.
Then we decided to walk across the bridge to Buda. Check. I took a few pictures but the cloudy day doesn't do the bridge justice.
It really seems like 2 different citys - one hilly and one flat. We walked through a park on the Buda side and introduced Jo to his first snow. It was disgusting dirty snow leftover from the snow on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week but there was enough in a pile left from someone's snow man to make a few snowballs.
We continued to wander on the Buda side and found a mall!! I finally bought a webcam (Check!) and might get to try it out tonight - maybe. By that point in the day both Jo and I were pretty tired so we opted for a metro ride home instead of walking all the way back. Jo seemed pretty wary of the metro system as he had never ridden one before. However, the metro seems to work more or less the same as the metro at home - entry is a bit different and I am not sure how you transfer between lines BUT I know I can at least ride successfully. (CHECK!!)
We ended our adventure with a coffee from what I am guessing is the Hungarian version of Starbucks - coffeeheaven. I wish I could just skip work all week and continue to explore.
