Hey Adventurers! Did you know that supporters on Patreon get access to never before seen vlogs, hand-written postcards and more?? Browse all our perks here ~~> bit.ly/2sBKFd7 We had a blast exploring this enormous bath house and visiting the ruin bar. We're so sad to leave Budapest, it really is one of our favorite cities ever!
Hey guys, saw you flew a drone while there. We're going next week and we're debating wether to bring the drone. Did you do the 30 day permission thing or just fly it on the sly? So excited...
I subscriber of mine told me last year that the underground trains system in Budapest is the (second) oldest in the world and the city planners in NYC looked to it for guidance and inspiration when building the original NYC Subway. I can totally see that in your opening shot.
We went to Budapest about ten years ago, in January. Visited those baths, it was both brilliant and surreal. There were older guys playing chess all along the perimeter, and we were up to our chins in the water because it was -10 Celcius. It started to snow, and your body was toasty warm, while you got a cap of snow on your hair!
Budapest is the most beautiful and understated city in the whole of Europe. Amazing architecture, food and the most interesting history. I have only been once but I personally but it above anywhere else I have been.
That frozen crap wouldnt fly with me. A restaurant here in the states pulled that crap on me, i walked into the kitchen and gave it back to them. They have some nerve. I love it Allison and you are a good husband to take her out for ice cream. When im mad my husband stays away from me lol. Love you guys
To be honest the extra service charge would have annoyed me more than anything else. In some countries if shopkeepers hear someone speaking English the price goes up, that has happened to me several times.
Seeing this brought back awesome memories of my trip this past July- This city surprised me in ways I couldn’t imagine. it also hit me on an emotional level- I can pretty much say this city left a positive impression on me and I would go back In a heartbeat. I had previously visited Scandinavia the past few summers going back to 2015 and thought it couldn’t get any better! It was my experience that I encountered many who may not have a comfortable knowledge of English but they are super cordial and accommodating and was not an issue. I had some amazing Goulash at a restaurant near St. Steven’s Basilica. Even took in Sunday Mass. It ties with Tallinn, Estonia in my book for favorite city. During this quarantine I’ve been looking up Budapest videos to keep upbeat. For anyone planning a trip, the Szechenyi baths is a definite must visit and experience!
Yes, I do love Rick & Morty.....even though it really grosses me out sometimes (I'm old, that's why). I really feel like I'm traveling with you sometimes. What make me happy is seeing how much you enjoy yourselves. That's awesome.
I travelled to Budapest in August of last year, and I absolutely adored the city. The architecture is absolutely stunning, and we visited the same ruin bar. We met such lovely inside the bar, and Hungarian lady who was very chatty, and people from the UK and Australia. The only bad experience we had was crossing a road and a lady in her car beeped her horn and was shouting at us in Hungarian to hurry up, and we were over-charged massively for a 5 minute taxi ride.
It sounds like you were victims of the typical tourist scam. I can't find the restaurant, the only thing I could figure out is that you started recording at Andrássy út 79. I wonder what kind of reviews they get.
That subway is so ornate and “classy” because it’s over a hundred years old. It’s very shallow as well. You may have noticed it being just below the street. The cars on that line were originally pulled by horses. It’s one of the oldest subway lines in Europe, if I remember reading correctly. Pretty cool.
@@Theendlessadventure I have to admit, that would be cool, but no horses were down that tunnel. Actually, it is the 2nd oldest subway (1st oldest is London Underground), and the first electric subway (so no smoke at all, like in London).
as silly as it is to say, I enjoyed seeing Allison get worked up a bit! Shows things aren't always perfect when you travel ;) glad you got some ice cream though!
Alison, loads of lower end restaurants and pubs will microwave all or part of your meal or warm up boil in a bag food. They're not usually that blatant though.
On behalf of my Hungarian relatives and Cossack ancestors, I wish to apologize to all of you, specially Allison, for being so upset at having to eat crummy nuked garbage instead of a REAL, cooked meal. Chicken Papricosh (peppered chicken) is such an easy thing to make, that it disgusts me to see you guys ripped off this way. -- The only thing I can think of for this rip off, is you all went to a place owned by a Gypsie clan and they will do anything to make a cheap Euro.
I LOVE the music in this video! it's incredibly relaxing to work to while watching you guys explore anywhere that's NOT my work desk, lol! keep up the videos!
That public bath you went to was pretty awesome. We were there a few years ago in October and loved it. Each of the indoor pools contains different minerals and gasses, they have information pamphlets in the lobby. But the best part = did you know on Saturday nights they add disco lights and lasers and several alcohol bars and turn the whole outdoor pool into party central. Can you imagine thousands of bikini-clad boys and girls all drinking and dancing and falling down drunk. What fun.
The subway you rode is actually the first subway system in mainland Europe and the very first in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even before Vienna had its first U-Bahn.
I am glad that a minor setback is not going to drag you down, Like Allison I would be so annoyed to get microwave food, if you go out, you expect a chef cooked meal (And no mysterious 'tourist tax') , but it is all part of the rich experience of travelling. I miss being young and just being able to hop on a plane or train and go see somewhere (Wife and 3 school age children change travel aspirations massively) But the last month or so of watching you both (And Nikita) has inspired me to try something different, I have a long weekend off of work, so I am going to stay in my home town, but in a hotel, and get them to direct me wherever it is that they send tourists; I think it will be fascinating to see if I find something new or have a new experience, luckily with local knowledge, I know where to get some good food! Keep up the inspiration, hope to have you back in the UK sometime soon.
Hi Adventures, we love Rick & Morty 😍. I tried to convince my husband and son to go get the Szechuan sauce at McDonald's in Los Angeles when it was out but they were too busy playing video games, ugh my life. Love your videos love to watch where you take me I'm new on your subscription but right now I am marathoning. Thank you, Stella 😘
Just want to say I’ve finally gotten around to subscribe on Patreon to your postcard level. I’ve been following you kids (I’m 60 so I’m allowed so deal!) for months now and absolutely love your vlog and take on travel. My wife and I just returned from a month in Edinburgh and England (eating our first haggis at the royal mile restaurant you ate haggis at) and now we’re beginning to plan a trip next year to Norway with a few days added on to Budapest because your videos on that city have made me itch to go there! We’re definitely going to try for that awesome western-themed AirBnB and will use your link when we do so. Anyway, just wanted to finally thank you for creating such a great vlog! You’re both just adorable....that’s my age talking again.
Anita & Dana I went to Norway a few months ago and used their Oslo videos to prepare for it. Definitely check them out if you've not already. Also, I HIGHLY recommend Norway in a Nutshell. A great way to see the country and Bergen is a gorgeous city.
+Anita & Dana that is so cool!!! Hopefully you enjoyed the haggis a bit more than I did 😂 And you're going to love Norway and Budapest! They're so different, but so neat and beautiful! We're so excited and thankful to have you as a patron! Welcome to the postcard adventures 📬 🙌 We can't wait to hear how your trip goes! -Allison
I am enjoying watching your travels. I travel myself every year and love seeing other people's experiences. Out of curiousity why do you always order the same thing when you go out to eat? We always order different things and then share it all so we get to try so much more. Experiencing the food around the world is one of my favorite parts. Edit. PS. I love Rick and Morty too. Took me a while to give it a chance but it is fantastic.
Did you say Rigor Mortis? WTH? Just kidding! Budapest is a major bucket item for me. It's historical significance cannot be understated. Thanks a million for the introduction to it!
I need to go to Budapest! I have travelled to every other major European City apart from here and it looks awesome. I'll stick to the ice cream rather than 'Authentic Hungarian Kraft Dinners' though 😂😂
I'm so ashamed of our people doing this to tourists...Greedy shopkeepers and even taxi drivers tend to do this. A few years ago it used to be even worse. I hope these bad experiences don't spoil your overall opinion tho. In the countryside ( and basically everywhere else besides the capital) good quality beer can be bought for like 1 euros. If you want to try some Hungarian beers out check "Soproni", "Borsodi","Dreher"". Also, could you let us know the name of that scamming restaurant?
Anne Strasko well if your a security officer stuck in a portacabin stuck in the middle of nowhere sometimes you have no choice so stop being such a snob
RICK AND MORTY RULES!!! WUBBALUBBADUBDUB!!! Also, I’m working on another travel vlog, and this one is heavily inspired by you guys. I hope that’s not a problem.
When a video made you think about try the same activities and the vibe relaxes you; that video is magnificent, well done guys, I'm impressed by that bath palace, was stunning! And that ice cream 😍... Respecting microwave food, no words 😢, can't believe that in a place like Budapest; in the other hand the bar at the end looked simple but so good and mexican food there? So strange! Was it good? Thank you guys.
"Don't let it turn you on, either, because you can see through the water". Nikita is a treasure. I'm male and he doesn't turn me on, but he has a great sense of humour. (and the spelling is correct where I come from) :)
Hello Eric, Allison and Nikita. I have been following your adventures since you started, and it's been great fun. But i have to admit that I have always thought of Nikita being the third person on the uncomfotable date. But suddenly today I have seen the fact that the three of you go around as group means that you are are a lot safer in streets you don't know. I love your videos, keep educating us, stay safe and see you on the next adventure. Love Glen the molecatcher from England
Hi Glen! Luckily we haven't felt too unsafe on the road, but it's definitely nice having an extra buddy with us when/if we do :) Plus having Nikita there forces Eric and me to talk about things other than RU-vid, haha! Oh and he's great with directions so that's an added bonus 😁 Glad you're still enjoying things! We're excited to get back to England soon!
Guys, do check Mark Weins' blog/RU-vid channel when you are in Thailand. In fact, do drop him a line :). He is fab, and you will get some lovely recommendations for sure.
gosh what a day! Budapest seems like a fantastic place! Did you feel "therapeutic-ized" after the baths? I like Nikita's comment, "like swimming in pee" made me laugh out loud! you guys are such fun! Please read my comment on The Way Away...you guys spread goodness!!
looks a nice place to visit. I remember the Hungarian upraising against the then soviet union. Allison was very cross about that microwave meal. I used to have a microwave but got rid of it a couple of years ago. Makes you lazy.
Have you ever been to Glenwood Springs in Colorado the natural spring pools there are so cool on the sides of the warm mineral spring water pool are jets out water like a jacuzzi.. and it's huge! You should visit there when you go to Colorado again it's my favorite place to go when I visit. And that incident you had in that Hungarian restaurant reminds me of National Lampoon's European Vacation where they go to Paris France and they think they're ordering this fancy French food but it's really microwave food and they garnish it and then give it to them that's so funny.. well in the movie it's funny if you had to really experience it it's not.
I was thinking. I do that occasionally don't you know. Anyway. I've travelled to and lived in lots of countries (dad was a soldier). On a holiday to Spain back in the 1960's (Dad drove from Germany, down to Spain) Mum and Dad swore that one day, they would retire to Spain. That's what they did. Dad was English, Mum was German. Neither wanted to live in the land of their birth. So I was wondering, is there any country that you have thus far visited, that you think to yourselves "One day, when we retire, we will live here"?
