Day 79: Home Away From Home

Budapest, Hungary

I was looking forward to visit House of Terror today but apparently it’s closed on Monday The museum houses exhibits related to the Fascist and Communist regimes in Hungary during the 20th century. It was the base of the secret police and was a torture house.

Kitti saved the day and came to bring me to Margit’s Island. We did pretty much everything from having junk food, walking through the floral park to petting zoo animals.
