Day 138 Exploring Budapest on a bike!

After a long day yesterday of getting lost finding the hostel, exploring the bars and pubs in Budapest, and finding our way back to the hostel, we decided that today is the day which we will explore the beautiful city of Budapest on a bike.

(Photo: Getting ready for the long bike day. The hostel rented bikes to guests for about 8 or 9 Euros per half-day, which I think is a bit expensive for Hungary. Nevertheless, we were just happy that there were bikes for rent in the hostel.)

It was however, a national holiday in Budapest, so not much tourist attraction sites were opened.

(Photo: The Budapest Church, this is not closed, so we went in and took a look at the pretty interior design.)

As you can see from this photo, the sky was getting really gloomy. And about 2 hours afterwards, it started to rain heavily! Luckily we reached the hostel.

(Photo: Yep, and so there we were, consuming alcohol in the hostel reception, which conveniently, is a bar.)
