📸 — Budapest, Hungary
We’re not going to lie, Maeghan was a little upset to learn that the Grand Budapest Hotel didn’t exist in real life…. but with everything that we heard about Budapest, she felt optimistic with the our next destination.
Budapest was fantastic. We walked around most days exploring the city and eating great food. There were so many different craft beer bars and bottles shops, this is the first time we didn’t have a chance to hit them all! Budapest was also super popular with stag parties and student travellers — I guess it is just that time of year.
We also hit a snag when we had our first encounter with bed bugs in our Airbnb downtown. But our skills as backpackers has reached a new level of awesome and we had identified the problem, found a new place, packed our bags and were out of there in under 15 minutes.
Other than that, we loved it here so much, we decided to extend our stay not once, but twice 😊

On our second day in Budapest. Maeghan was sitting on the couch journaling and Oli was on his computer researching. We decided to switch places so we could recharge our devices and Olivier went on a hunt to find another power outlet. He looked behind the couch and noticed a tiny little bug on the wall in the living room…. it looked kind of like a bed bug…
So he grabbed a spoon, put the little guy in a glass and started a fine eye search to see if there was more. Well… there was.
Olivier found a dozen or so dead bed bug bodies (or a high confidence they were after looking at Google) and put them on a paper towel. Maeghan called the Airbnb host to ask him about this.. since Olivier kept finding more and more bodies and the skins of the bugs inbetween all the crevases of the couch.
Our host said they had bed bugs a few weeks ago, but had the exterminator come twice.. and not to worry unless we found a living one… and we did..
So within 15 minutes… we had their bags packed, space cleaned and they were ready to peace — with success. No bed bugs were carried and they found a new nicer Airbnb all in the nick of time!
The 2nd largest thermal pools in the world next to Iceland. We hope to visit both!
We saw this and thought of all our PasswordBox friends❤️. Ping Pong was an intense sport in the office, we had two and there would always be tournaments.. or two co-workers battling it out. But this seems like a new level of ping pong!
Ruin bar. Made in the ruins of an old building and furnished with only 2nd hand things. Also, has 18 bars in the one location — so you can go to the wine bar, gin bar, craft beer bar… etc. The best place for any group party!
