Yo yo yo what is up Blogger world, it’s your boy J-Swizzle, the Josh-man, and I am here now as your guest speaker today.
Having to check out of the hotel three hours before the start of the tour, we packed up our luggage to be taken away by the hotel staff and left for an adventure. After heading the wrong direction, we spun around and headed to what is supposedly one of the best pastry shops in the area (disagree) and learned the unfortunate news that the zoo was too far away to be able to get back to the hotel in time for the tour. With no zoo on the horizon, we instead filled time by doing another escape room. As most escape rooms in the area didn’t open until later in the afternoon, we decided to try one that was rated a fair way below the other escape room place....and it showed. Mum was especially unimpressed by a ladder that had to had to be climbed as part of the room. Escaping that, we continued on to have lunch at a burger place before returning to the hotel.
Meeting up with the tour group, we hopped onto a coach and had a short tour of the city - probably would have been better if we’d received the tour BEFORE walking around for the previous two days wandering uninformed, but better late than never! We were returned to the castle district where we had already explored the day earlier , and then hopped back onto the bus to be taken to the boat.
Receiving a lot of introductory information from the get-go, it was very easy to miss the start of scheduled events as there are no announcements and it is left to us to be on top of what time we have to be where. They take pride in having lollies available at all times in the main lounge for those that are interested. Sailing off after a rubix cube “demonstration”, we said farewell to Budapest and ventured on towards Slovakia. I’d say goodbye in Hungarian, but I do not know a single word of the language.
We had dinner in one of the two available meal places where you may order off the menu or partake in the children’s buffet with chips and nuggets. No comment on what I went with. The lollies were also available, a nice dinner snack. After dessert we returned to our rooms and slept ready for the next day.
Hmmm - I may be regretting offering the guest post, but it does mean that I can go get my coffee right away instead of finishing the blog. Josh and I are in a suite with a lot of space, including a walk in wardrobe. The sliding windows open onto a “Juliet balcony” (a guard rail) and it’s nice to sit here in the early morning with the splash of the water and the quiet hum of the engines. It looks like we took no photos yesterday so I’ve uploaded one that Josh took the day before, in honour of his guest posting.
