Hitting the East was as easy as simply turning right instead of left when leaving the hostel. We decided walk across the city instead of taking the metro just to see more of it and get more of a feeling for some of the less seen areas, but in reality you don't miss much by taking the metro. As we were catching the train the next day early to Vienna, we decided to pick up out tickets first.

Budapest maybe as well known for their natural spring baths as much as anything else. There is a large number of them scattered across the city and my understanding is that they are full pretty much every and all day. So we managed to soak up a good 4-5 hours of laying outdoors in hot pools of varying temperatures. I only have a photo of the outside, so you will have to wait for Marie to send me her photos of the inside which was very lush.

Back at the hostel, we hit up some ozzies, frogs and Canadians to go have a night out. Starting in a small dive bar we had a few cheap drinks before hitting the high light of Budapest’s nightlife - Inside/Outside. Strangely enough the outside riverfront club was called 'Inside'. While the indoors was called 'Outside'. The danger was - after your first shot, all following shots were half price. owch. Given it was a Wednesday night, the place didn't really start filling up until 1am and was going strong at about 4am when we crawled home to wake the remainder of the hostel guests.
