This is where we waited for the bus. They do have bus terminal but the bus we going to Vienna with depart from here. Oh well. Nice view of the stadium.

Our fellow bus riders? haha. Oh yeah..the bus was delayed for 3 hours. 3 hours! Avoid taking the Orangeways bus at all cost! haish~

12.45pm: Arrived at Vienna

The bus terminal was not so user friendly

The info counter lady was speaking to us in their language.

At this moment I didn't realize it was german language.
I have 3 years German language courses and it took me a while to recall back the language.
haha~

 We managed getting to the city safely by train from U-Bahn Stadion


We only bought the train pass and we made our own trips using a map. Printed map that is. Not Google maps or Waze or any gadget ok. ^_^

Stadion Centre

Arrived at the city centre. Very near to our hostel.

Great design. Maintenance team? Great work! Thumbs up!

City Hostel Pest

We assume that this hostel is for some college referring to the word 'Kollegium' up there.
Great place with beds and study desk but we are sharing bathrooms with the next room. Which is kinda scary as we don't really know what gender are staying there. All the what ifs came to our mind that night. haha..but luckily everything was okay.

We went for a strolling during the night as it was not that scary now that I have Fifi.. haha thanks dear. Budapest is seriously one pretty city day and night!!


This tabacco coffe is seriously good!! I can still remember the taste even now! I miss this so much!
HUF 400 

The Chain Bridge

This is not a Google image ok. I took this with my Iphone 5s. Great isn't it?)

In Budapest, we bought the HopOnHopOff bus ticket for HUF 7000. 
Pricey but totally worth it. It inclusive of bus and river cruise 

Gellert Hill and statue from afar 

Danube River and Buda Castle Quarter at night.

 I have this habit of wanting to know the temperature of places.

Coffee we had at Buda Castle. (HUF890)

 Szent Istvan statue

Matthias Church

Statue at Trinity Square

Hahaha.purposely took this picture because of the name. Haris.

Chain Bridge's lion

Chain Bridge up-close

There are lots of statues like this along the Danube River.

There's some stories that goes together with the statues 

Fifi with her pose

Part of my bench project pictures

Fish Goulash; they said the best one is the meat but we can't find any Halal store so we decided to try this one. Taste just like our Malaysian 'asam pedas'  

Gundel palacsinta 

Wikipedia: Gundel crepes, stuffed with walnuts and served in chocolate sauce, often flambéed

Taste great for the dark chocolate!

Kürtőskalács

Wikipedia: Stove cake or Chimney cake, cooked over an open fire—a Transylvanian specialty, famous as Hungary's oldest pastry

This one? OMG! I felt in love at the first site with this Kurtos! Seriously. Thank God there are few shops selling this in Malaysia. The best one I found that can match the one I tasted in Budapest is the one in Publika, Jalan Duta. Go try it now!!  

Ok2. Back to the travelogue.

Now we took the night river cruise to indulge in the night view. Great one. 

Castle Quarter

Chain Bridge

That's the end for Budapest. Seriously there are much more pictures that I wish to share here but these are the only one I uploaded on Instagram. Seriously people! Budapest is the best city I have visited so far. 

The coffee, the view, the kurtos, the goulash, everything about Budapest! 

I miss everything about Budapest~
