Budapest has a huge amount of natural springs which is where they get all of their water. As a result several natural caves have formed in the limestone around the city. Lindsey and I wanted to go to one where the crevices are so winding that you have to wear overalls and helmets with lights, but that cave was closed for Easter so we ended up going to one where you just walk through on a normal tour. Not as thrilling, but it was still gorgeous. We were the only Americans in a huge tour group of Hungarians so we ended up not paying attention and taking pictures in the side passages because as you might know neither of us is fluent in Hungarian, I barely know how to say thank you- köszönöm(kersernerm).
This blog started out as a log of my antics studying abroad in Rome, but has now morphed into the inevitable predicaments I find myself in while travelling in general.
