Travel Report : Eastern Europe - Budapest (Day 2)

Hari kedua ni kitaorg start awal skit. Since we were staying all in an apartment senang nak manage. Apartment ni terletak kat Kirali Utca. tak berapa jauh sgt dr the main bridge. Apartment is a better option utk dok kat budapest. Murah je, around 70 euro for 2 bedroom apartment. Since kitaorg akan ada 1 hari lagi utk budapest i.e. last day sebelum fly. At first, we've planned to settle part Buda Hill on the second day and kept Pest i.e. town area on a later day. but considering kitaorg nak check out tghhari lepas zohor, we've walk around hotel area, beli tiket ke prague and bergambar kat parliment dulu in the morning, then only ke buda hill after check out.









Utk ke Buda area ni kena naik furnicular (budavari siklo). And sbb kan semua benda touristic majority kat atas Buda Hill ni, jalan2 tak susah... jalan kaki utk discover semua benda. The whole Buda hill ni rasanya considered as Unesco site. you can check out more about Buda hill ni kat wikipedia (as usual) and buda castle. You can spend good half day to cover the whole buda hill. pics below - places of interest on top of buda hill - fisherman's bastion - Matthias Church- view of pest from buda hill.After spent half a day kat atas hill to, kitaorg ambik beg and terus ke train station. we took a sleeper train to Prague. Left Budapest around 9pm (rasanya) sampai Prague at 5am. kitaorg ambik 2 berth sleeper cabin. 1 cabin kena charge euro 99 euro per person and satu lagi 79 euro per person. apparently masa beli n masuk cabin tak terfikir sgt harga moreover, we were astonished dgn kemudahan yg ada. the higher priced cabin ada toilet n the other ada wash basin tp both connected with connecting door. so senang lah nak ke toilet. tp bila dah balik (sampai doha) br terfikir, gile mahal sleeper train ni... average euro 160 per cabin that's a 5 star hotel equivalent!!! so the idea that tukar dr tido kat hotel kepada tidor kat train tak lah jimat mana... in fact rugi. cuma nya dpt save time lah. tp maybe kalau tak ambik sleeper, ambik seat boleh berjimat. But satu hal plak, bila dah sampai sakit2 belakang n penat, pun tak save mana...
