Day 13: Vienna/Budapest

Long time no see! After many days of not posting (we've been very busy and this website is a pain on an iPad) you're going to get a bulk upload! No pictures as of yet but hopefully they'll come later. We've just made it to Zagreb, just in case you were interested, so you'll have posts up to them by the end of the night (if all goes to plan).

An early start on the unluckiest day of our trip (as it's the 13th day, don't worry we weren't actually unlucky!), as we sadly prepared to say goodbye to Vienna, but gleefully anticipated Budapest. Of course, there was the boring old packing to be done, but that, along with the usual getting ready routines were quickly completed. We decided to utilise our last few hours in Vienna by getting a few things done, namely buying some makeup and eating some food.

First up was food, and it was a return to the BlueOrange Bagelry, since we had forgotten to take photos the first time, not to mention the supreme bagel quality we were provided with. Mollie wasn't feeling adventurous, and so opted for the same choice - and by the same, I mean exactly the same, down to the drink - whilst I opted for an 'American' bagel, significantly more unhealthy than my first choice, although equally delicious.

Now you might be thinking, here comes that makeup bit again, skip. But please, read on, as this arose through necessity after a minor disaster. The disaster was... Wait for it... A snapped eyebrow pencil! How was Mollie supposed to keep her eyebrows on fleek?! So we headed to Douglas. Back in Cosmetic Paradise, Mollie flitted around, picking up a Mac eyebrow pencil, as well as a few cheeky Zoeva brushes, just because. 

Then it was time to head to the station. We picked up our bags and rode the overground to the Hauptbahnhof. A short 2 hour wait later and we were on our way to Budapest. The train journey was, as per usual, uneventful, and before we knew it were there. It was hot, hotter than Vienna, and we trudged our heavy backpacks to the apartment. Once there, we were set, it was a night in, and I was going to cook (scary).

For dinner, I set out to tesco, letting Mollie relax a little, where I picked up the ingredients for the dinner, Spanish Meatball Stew. I've already forgotten the recipe, but the end result wasn't bad, as Mollie will testify, especially with a glass of wine. After this, there wasn't much happening, we were to tired to explore, and so we sat on the balcony and admired the view, before heading to our lovely big bed. Day 14 next...
