Älter werden ist ja bekanntlich nicht schön. Um nicht daran zu denken, musste eine Ablenkung her. Tapetenwechsel ?! -Ja bitte! Wir haben uns auf Budapest geeinigt und ich muss sagen, es war die beste Entscheidung! Budapest ist klasse. Nicht zu teuer, ein bisschen runtergekommen, mit viel Charme, und nicht so spießig wie Wien. Von Donnerstag Abend bis Montag Abend waren wir dort und haben uns die Stadt angesehen, das Nachtleben getestet und Kulturprogramm gemacht.

We all know, getting older ain't fun. So I wanted to be distracted . So to escape getting older there is nothing better than getting out of town. Our little group decided on Budapest. Best decision ever! I love the city, it's a bit run down but very charming and not as cocky as Vienna. We went from thursday evening till monday evening and explored the city, the nightlife and did some culture-stuff.
Warten auf den Abflug / Waiting for the flight.
Unser Guide durch die Stadt. Super gemacht. Steffen hatte schon Erfahrungen mit der free City Tours in anderen Städten und hat uns für den ersten Tag eine rausgesucht. Werd ich bei meinen nächsten Urlaubszielen jetzt auch immer nachsehen ob es angeboten wird.

Our city guide. She did it soo well. Steffen had "free walking tours" in other cities before, so we decided on this as our first event in Budapest. Next time I travel to a city I'll look for a walking tour there too. It's good for first orientation and you see a lot in only a couple of hours.

BEST THING EVER: A pool/sauna outside and inside in this building! A bit of pomp adds a lot to the vibe. Who wants to go to a lame indoor pool in Germany when you can go the thermal spring in Budapest?! And why does nobody built houses in this kind of style?No understanding at all.

This bar, or whatever you would call it, was the first of very many places we visited on our trip which I wish we had in Stuttgart. Big, labyrinthine, lovely interior, good music, good vibe, good prices. Hot Wine (a german christmas market thing)! The courtyard made into an amazing smokers area with a million different seating opportunities and even a boat made out of old ski to sit in. Inside there were tons of chairs and sofas around different styles of tables. Very vintage. And the people there, fifteen years old wanna-be punks, fifty years old cowboys with boots and hats, everything, mixed together. Siting, drinking wine, watching people.
Mein eigentlicher Geburtstag war wohl wettermäßig der schlechteste Tag... Schön wars trotzdem. / On my actual birthday the weather was the worst in all four days. Still a nice day.

SO DELICIOUS! An amazing restaurant. Small, only three different main dishes, but the atmosphere was amazing, and the interior, and the wine. Best part: even as students prices you can handle ;-)

This place is just awesome! It's been an empty apartment house and from the outside it looks totally unimpressive, almost invisible. You go through the door and all of the sudden whole worlds seem to appear where there seemed to be nothing. Three floors full of rooms, different styles of music, a huge chill out area, food, crazy decoration. The people there come from everywhere all over the world. (My only concern about this place was the fire safety... no emergency exit signs, overcrowded, tons of fire load.... and so on. In Germany such a place would never exist, way to dangerous...)

This is the second largest synagoge in the world. I have never been to one before. We had to buy tickets to a tour otherwise you are not allowed inside but it was super interesting and the buildng itself is really impressive!
Balett! Onegyn. Schön. / Went to see balley. Onegyn. Very lovely.
The opera house is absolutely amazing. It was just such a perfect last evening.
Am Montag, unserem letzten Tag, ging es in die Markthalle. Super cool, definitive Besichtigungsempfehlung. Im ersten Geschoss war so Touristenkram, im EG essen essen essen und Paprikapulver, und im UG Fleisch, Fish und eingelegtes Gemüse.
On monday, our last day, we went to the big market. I definitely recommend it! Upstairs tourist-stuff, ground floor FOOD and peper-powder, down stairs meat, fish & pickled veggies.
Wer behauptet Gemüse hätte keine Gefühle?! Und Spaß scheinen sie im Glas auch zu haben. / Who said veggies don't have feelings?! They seem to have tons of fun in those jaws.
