Day 3: Island of Joggers

Today I learned that in order to get data on my phone with my shiny new sim card, I must fiddle around with the network settings. Fiddling complete, I am now able to use google maps and keep a constant information drip in my wifi-less apartment.

I decided to walk over to Margitsziget (Margret Island). I found it to consist mostly of trees and joggers. There was a lot of both. There were also some ruins of a Dominican convent which was home to Saint Margret who I guess is kind of a big deal?

Also my roommate arrived! I know very nearly nothing about her. I suspect that she may be short enough not to be hindered by the low ceiling above our beds.

 Apparently nickelodeon is a thing here. Also claire's and T.G.I. Friday's.

This is the Pest-side bridge to the island

I thought I would try to make a comparison of Buda and Pest. This is Pest.

Here are some pictures of ruins:

Saint Margret of Hungary: kind of a big deal

This is a water tower. Apparently it's a landmark.

 This is the Buda side of the Danube. It has more hills.

The bridge on the Buda side.

 Attempts to get artsy with the bridges: SO MUCH BRIDGE

The view from the bridge. Buda is on the right, Pest is on the left.
