Budapest Must-Dos

The first time my friend and I headed towards Budapest Ferihegy International Airport, we thought we were leaving the country to head to Croatia.

We, admittedly, were running a little late -- the bus to the airport took a long time and we arrived about 30 minutes to our flight. We ran as fast as we could to the Sky Europe counter, hoping we could still board our plane.

It turned out that the plan DEPARTED 30 MINUTES EARLY (who does that???)-- and there wouldn't be another plane to our destination in Croatia for another 3 days. (Yikes.) We ended up scheduling a flight to our second destination in Croatia 2 days later, and heading to a cute airport Bed & Breakfast for the night.

I'm actually really glad we got those extra two days in Budapest, though it was a bit unnerving at first. We had the entire trip planned out down to the details, and then our day in Split, Croatia and an extra day in Dubrovnik were gone. But by staying in Budapest, I got to see a lot more of the attractions that I missed the first two days. I didn't really enjoy the city on my first two days, so it was good that I was able to stay and change my mind about the place. Now I want to go back to see more!
