Budapest day 3

And here we have our last day in Budapest. It started really early, we got up at 8 am, as we were meeting in the Oktogon at 9:15, but only Vicky, Raquel and Rocio appeared as the others were still preparing everything. When we were near the Opera I realized that I had forgotten my bag with everything for the rems in the McDonalds, where Dani and Adrian had a coffee. I went there and luckily they had found my bag and were keeping it. I went then to the Parlament and when I was arriving there I received the call of all the other guys from the hostel, who were in the Parlament. I arrived and saw that we couldn't enter as there was an official meeting with the Polish government. When the others arrived (the ones that had left the firsts) we decided to go to the sculptures of the Jewish shoes which are there to remember all the Jews that died during the II World War. After that we went to have a coffee and Adrian and me decided to find somewhere to eat for lunch. It was freezing outside and really windy and we walked a lot until we found a place which was interesting and the price was really good. We booked a table and then went to meet all the other guys. Some of them had to take money from the ATM and then we went to the Margarita Island but it wasn't really impressive. We crossed the bridge to see the Parlament from the other side of the river and found a really nice restaurant (all you can eat and drink for 11€). The food was really good and you could have water, cola, beer, wine, champagne, coffee (as much as you wanted). We stayed there for 2 hours and had lot of fun and after that took the metro (and we had to pay there) to go to the terms. The terms Szechenyi where really nice and also costed 11€. We took our swimsuits and went to the swimming pools (the outside ones) which are at 37.5 degrees whereas outside it was freezing (by freezing I mean temperatures below 0). Then we went to the inside pools, the hottest one was at 40 degrees and the coldest one at 16. We entered also into the saunas (from 50 to 90 degrees I think) and when they closed at 19.00 we went again to the outside swimming pools. We stayed there until nine more or less, and while we were in the swimming pool it started snowing. It was wonderful, but went we went out of the swimming pool we found that our towels were completely frozen (they seemed to be like cardboard). After some of the guys took a trolley to go near home and went to the McDonald's to have something quick for dinner (a menu and 2 normal burguers costs like 6€ or less) and then went to Marina's house to prepare the suitcases and have something to drink. At 12 we went to a pub called Morrison's 1 to celebrate Dani's birthday. It started really boring, everyone sitting in a table (as we were really relaxed from the terms) but finally the party started with some nice music (not like in Eindhoven that sometimes the music is not so good...). We stayed there until 3:15 am as we had booked the taxis to go to the airport at 4:00 and we had to go to our house. We took our suitcases and finally got into the taxi. It was snowing a lot but the taxi-driver didn't have any problem for driving. The trip costed more or less 15€. At 6:00 we took our plane and when I sat I slept for the whole flight. We arrived to Eindhoven with 40 minutes delay, due to the snow in Budapest and really, really tired but very happy to have done this amazing trip!

I aquí tenim al nostre últim dia a Budapest. Tot va començar molt d'hora, ens aixequem a les 8 am, ja que ens haviem de trobar al Oktogon a les 9:15, però només Vicky, Raquel i Rocío van aparèixer perquè els altres encara estaven preparant tot. Quan estàvem a prop de l'Òpera em vaig adonar que havia oblidat la bossa amb tot el necessari per a les termes al McDonalds, on Dani i Adrián havien pres un cafè. Vaig anar allà i per sort havien trobat la meva bossa i la guardaven. Vaig anar llavors al Parlament i quan estava arribant allà vaig rebre la trucada de tots els altres nois de l'alberg, que estaven al Parlament. Vaig arribar i vaig veure que no podíem entrar perquè hi havia una reunió oficial amb el govern polonès. Quan van arribar els altres (els que havien sortit els primers) vam decidir anar a les escultures de les sabates jueves que són allà per recordar a tots els jueus que van morir durant la Segona Guerra Mundial. Després d'això vam anar a prendre un cafè i Adrian i jo vam decidir buscar un lloc per dinar.Feia molt de fred fora i vent i caminem molt fins que trobem un lloc que era interessant i el preu va ser molt bo. Hem reservat una taula i després va ser a la trobada de tots els altres nois.Alguns d'ells van haver de treure diners del caixer automàtic i després ens vam anar a la Illa de Margarita, però no va ser gaire maco. Creuem el pont per veure el Parlament des de l'altre costat del riu i ens troben un restaurant molt bo (tot el que puguis menjar i beure per 11 €). El menjar era molt bo i podies beure aigua, cola, cervesa, vi, xampany, cafè (tant com volguessis). Ens vam quedar allà durant 2 hores i ens ho vam passar molt bé i després vam prendre el metro (vam haver de pagar) per anar a les termes. Les termes Szechenyi eren molt boniques i també van costar 11 €. Ens posem els nostres banyadors i anem a les piscines (les externes) que estan a 37,5 graus, mentre que fora d'ellafeia molt fred (per molt fred em refereixo a temperatures inferiors a 0). Després vam anar a les piscines a l'interior, la més calenta estava a40 graus i la més freda a 16.Entrem també ala sauna (de 50 a 90 graus crec) i quan a les 19.00 hores van tancar, ens vam anar de nou a la piscina exterior. Ens vam quedar allà fins més o menys les nou, i mentre estàvem a la piscina va començar a nevar. Va ser meravellós, però va ser sortir de la piscina i trobar que les nostres tovalloles estaven completament congelat (que semblava com cartró). Després alguns dels nois vam prendre un trolleybus per anar a casa  i vam anar al McDonald's per menjar alguna cosa ràpida per sopar (menú i dues hamburgueses normals com 6 € més o menys) i després vam anarr a la casa de Marina per preparar les maletes i  beure una mica. A les 12 vam anar a un pub anomenat Morrison's 1 per celebrar l'aniversari de Dani. Va començar molt avorrit, tothom assegut en una taula (perquè estavem molt releaxats de les termes), però finalment la festa va començar amb bona música (no com a Eindhoven, que de vegades la música no és gaire bo ...). Ens vam quedar allí fins les 03:15 ja que s'havia reservat els taxis per anar a l'aeroport a les 4:00 i vam haver d'anar a casa nostra. Prenem les nostres maletes i, finalment, ens vam ficar al taxi. Nevava molt, però el taxista no va tenir cap problema per a la conducció. El viatge va costar més o menys 15 (menys de 4 per persona)€. A les 6:00 prenem l'avió i quan em vaig asseure em vaig dormir tot el vol. Arribem a Eindhoven amb 40 minuts de retard, a causa de la neu a Budapest i en realitat, molt cansats però molt contents d'haver fet aquest viatge increïble!
