After a good rest and a sumptuous morning buffet, we started our sightseeing on Budapest. Today was the first time from Day 1 that we had to wear summer clothes as temperature was closed to 34 degree Celsius. Humid and hot indeed, something similar to KL and Singapore. Budapest is indeed a very historical city but perhaps due to the heat and sweating, we didn't take extra effort to venture out from the pack to do more sightseeing.
The evening free and easy session was spent venturing inside their grocery market, tea break at one of the famous cafe and dinner at the open air restaurant (of course after the sun set). One of the most famous delicacy in Hungary is the traditional Hungarian goulash and beef is always the preferred choice of meat to make this dish. I tried the pork version during dinner yesterday but I always prefer to try the authentic local dishes so well, I ordered the beef version for my dinner. My verdict, not much difference. And, because of my eagerness and failure to control my temptation, I developed rashes all over my body (since I don't eat beef due to religion and belief). Once back to hotel, I took a quick shower, popped some vitamin C and quickly call it a day.
Notice the word TERROR in the shadow?

Some of the fresh local produce and cured meat at the local wet market (it should be called dry market, since the floor is dry, unlike the wet markets in Malaysia)
