FLIGHT THREE AZ FCO-BUD
Luckily this time it doesn't take a ton of time once I get to the counter to get on another flight. I have a couple hours wandering around before a mostly uneventful flight to BUD. Its pretty rocky getting down the last half hour or so but it was like that last time I flew there-I guess that's a thing there?
I go to Budapest, Vienna, and Prague for 3 weeks doing cheapskate stuff like free tours, staying at hostels booked through cb sites, eating doner, drinking/reading/taking photos in parks, and watching operas for around 3 euros a pop. Highlight definitely was Oktagon bistro in Budapest (near the metro stop) where you get all you can eat Hungarian food and a drink for about 5 euros. Prague was definitely the most expensive, probably because it was swarming with tourists. I found the people nicest there, however so it was ok.
Onward to part two...
