I think it's been about 10 days since my last post and I apologize greatly for that. I got struck down with bronchitis and a horrific cold - all in the run up to my 21st birthday. I spent about 2 weeks in bed most of the time, coughing, and feeling very sorry for myself! Luckily I perked up just in time for my birthday and enjoyed celebrating with all my new friends in Budapest.
I was visited by my friend Marta from London for my birthday and she stayed 3 days with me here in Budapest. We had a sight-seeing overload during those days and I gave her a whirlwind tour of Budapest. The weather was reasonably ok, cold but sunny and bright. Just meant we walked a little more to keep warm, my bangs were ruined and our faces were flushed pink. Oh being an English Rose!
I'm looking forward to welcoming my parents to Budapest this Thursday and hopefully they're ready for my "guide to Budapest". It involves a lot of walking!
