BUDAPEST

An important church...honestly I wasn't paying much attention on the tour.


The Chain Bridge

The Citadel is on top of the hill

Karina and Me crossing the river

A very pretty waterfall/statue we happened upon

The statue part of the equation

The view from the top

A huge market that we spent the morning waking around. They had fresh foods on the lover level and other goods and restaurants on the second level. It was a nice place to walk around and see.

A traditional Hungarian meal. I noticed that they liked to use chicken in a lot of their meals along with paprika. This is Paprika Chicken.

View walking along the river at night.

The Chain Bridge at night

The first ruin bar we went to and the 3rd best bar in the world. The style was weird and eclectic, but it had a very cool atmosphere.

The second ruin bar. This was supposed to be the "enchanted forest"





We went to a tea house that reminded us of Alice in Wonderland

One of the workers at our hostel had a pet dog named Ropi after a common Hungarian snack (similar to pretzels)



My favorite part of Budapest were the baths. They were so relaxing! I even tried a sauna for the first time (and absolutely hated it)

Hero Square

LONDON

Buckingham Palace

The statue in front of Buckingham

Gates to Green Park

Green Park

Natural History Museum



We found Chipotle and Diet Coke! Life is Burritoful!



Baker's Street and Sherlock Holmes. We couldn't find the apartment they use for the BBC show, but this museum shot will do.

All the streets said look left or look right. It was really convenient since they do everything backwards.



We went to Regents Park and it was the most beautiful park that I have ever seen!

Madame Tussaud's

Me and Sherlock!

This is how we got around. The tube was easy and kinda fun to navigate through.

Big Ben

Westminster Abbey

Sarah and me in front of Big Ben





We waited for the sun to go down in the cold to get this shot. The ones above were the ones we took over that gruesome 2 hour sunset.

London Eye

I really liked Big Ben

I got to try fish and chips!

We visited Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station


A shot of Big Ben with a red double decker 

On the tube this was a common phrase to be seen and heard by the speakers. For some reason we thought it was funny!

The typical red telephone booth shot

What is busking?

Impressive

London Tower

London Tower Bridge

While crossing the London Tower Bridge


We also found Pizza Hut. London reminded us so much of home!

Hootananny Hostel where we stayed- it was so cute!

Tate Modern

The taxi's were so cute!

The area of town we stayed in. I thought I should take a photo to commemorate our stay.
