Day 7 - First Contact

Every day has had it's challenges but on this day it was the biggest one so far, it was time to mingle and make friends! I knew it was coming but I was not ready for it. We arrived into Budapest (The pest side) to a massive station with no signs and little help on where to go. After what seemed like an age we made it to the hostel (Homemade Hostel) and was greeted with the worst kind of greeting, "Did you get my email?". The silly website had double booked us, so we had no where to sleep! The owner of the hostel felt so bad that he paid the deposit for another hostel and told us to come back the next day for our second night in Budapest. He also told us to come back that evening for a free dinner and to take part in a "Homemade Pub Crawl", we agreed to this and set off for Paprika (the hostel for that night). Paprika was a nice enough place, but built for the more party at heart, and the fact that two cats were laid on our beds when we arrived is not a promising start.
Getting out of the 70's themed pub crawl that Paprika was holding, we decided to go for the free meal at "Homemade", but not the pub crawl. We arrived and sat quietly for a while untill a couple of Australians asked us some questions and we became more chatty. Before we knew it, it was 2 O' clock in the morning after an impressive crawl through some great bars, chatting to some cool people and we even arrived back to Paprika after the wild themed pub crawl!
