Trip to Visegrád
On Tuesday morning we left
Százhalombatta and started our trip to Visegrád where we visited a royal
castle, called Királyi Palota. The royal castle visit was really cool. First we
had a guided tour around the castle and we heard interesting things about the
history of Hungary.
After the guided tour we walked up the stairs to the top of
the castle (there were millions of steps but it was worth it...) and the view
was amazing there!
After that we went to watch a jousting demonstration and
then we had a chance to try e.g. shooting with a bow but I was so bad at it.
Soon it was lunch
time and we moved to the restaurant quite solemnly because we walked after the
King and the Queen (who where the teachers from Slovenia and Spain) while the
knights were drumming the drums. The food was good and we could feel the
royalty as well with paper crowns that everybody got from the restaurant.
After
the lunch we continued to another city, Szentendre, where we had some free
time. It was a really beautiful city, I totally fell in love with it. The
streets, the buildings and all the small shops... And as a Christmas lover, I thought the
small Christmas shops were so lovely. We also went to see the big river, the
Danube, and took some pictures there.
When we drove back to
Százhalombatta in the evening we could see the Parliament house in Budapest shining
in the dark and it looked amazing. We would come back to the capital on Thursday...
