Budapest Day 5

Our last day together in Budapest :(

We started out the day with a visit to the PALVOLGY STALACTITE cave in Buda. The cave is a lime stone cave which was discovered in 1904. Apparently, the city was still covered by the sea, and later the sea retreated, leaving behind the stone cave. You can even see the fossilized sea shells on some of the walls. It was an interesting journey indeed.



For lunch we tried some Hungarian pancakes, which were bascailly crepes except prepared especially with Hungarian twist. I ordered a salty pancake with pork stew and a sweet one with apple fillings. Great stuff!



We then went back to the Castle district.

The last thing that we did was the Buda castle labyrinth. This was sort like a underground maze created long long time ago by the people living there. The atmosphere was emphysized by the oil lamp that they give you before you go in.

At the dinner time there was a moment where I can't decide whether I should go to Prague with them the next day and lose my tickets to Paris. I was on the virge of just buying the ticket until it hit me that there are alot of work to be done in the next coming upcoming two weeks. Sucks..

So that was it, my trip to Budapest. It was definitely a great experience since Eastern europe has got such a distinct character that is not found in the west.
