Today we want to get up early to enjoy the sunrise once more. We fail miserably and stay in bed even longer. Instead we go for breakfast (a little later than usual). Then we set off on a walk towards Buda Castle, stopping at “Bomo Art Budapest”, a small shop selling handmade stationery. Of course we also explore the Buda Castle area on our own before we retreat to our hotel from the midday heat (over 36 degrees Celsius). Back at the hotel, we order bowls via Wolt and watch a series while eating. Later in the afternoon we finally go on our free walking tour about “Buda Castles”. Our tour guide tells us a lot about Hungarian history and the many tragic events that led to the repeated destruction of the city’s buildings. The tour is very interesting, and you suddenly see the buildings and their surroundings in a different light once you know the history that goes with them. After the tour we return to Fisherman’s Bastion and decide to watch the sunset from there again. But since there is still a while to go before the sun sets, we head back to our hotel and sip good drinks in the lovely hotel garden. There we also book another place to stay for our upcoming (spoiler alert!) Lofoten trip and edit a few photos. As planned, we climb Fisherman’s Bastion again for the sunset (for the 4th time today!), where we treat ourselves to dumplings and quesadillas. The sunset is spectacular. We take a lot of photos despite the crowds, and later a thunderstorm rolls in, which we can watch from the bastion. Tomorrow we want to have another go at getting up early …
In short
We want to get up early but stay in bed and have breakfast later than usual. Afterwards we explore the Buda Castle area, retreat to the hotel from the midday heat of over 36 degrees and in the afternoon join a free walking tour on ‘Buda Castles’. In the evening we climb Fisherman's Bastion for the fourth time that day, eat dumplings and quesadillas and watch a thunderstorm roll in.
