Buda Labyrinth

Sunday evening my mentor Niki stopped by to take us to the Buda Labyrinth. we took the bus over to an area that appeared to be nothing more than a neighborhood and a few corner stores, amongst it all was the entrance to the labyrinth. we walked down a steep flight of stairs and were instantly shocked by the extreme temperature difference; it went from wiping the sweat from our brows to seeing our breath in an instant.
we walked down a dimly lit corridor with drips of water falling down around us until we reached the entrance. we grabbed a lantern and stepped into the dark stone maze. there were a multitude of dark hallways to explore not knowing which would lead to a dead end. there were various statues of men throughout and every time i turned a corner i jumped at the sight of them. there was also a group of small fountains spouting wine that filled the surrounding halls with it's rich sent. there was a small tranquil pond of water as well as a variety of chain curtains and gates we had to make our way through and around. we spent at least an hour maneuvering our way through the stone maze until we were greeted by the blindingly bright outdoors.

we walked around the small town surrounding the labyrinth before we made our way to a crape cafe where we indulged in chocolate filled crapes for less than a dollar each.

we boarded the bus and made our way home and proceeded to freshen up for a calm night out. Kate and i walked to Raday utca where we sat sipping our two dollar beer. soon we were bombarded by a group of men who had clearly started their evening well before us. the guy who first approached us was wearing a grass skirt with a shell bra and had some questionable items taped to his hand. we soon discovered that this was his bachelor's party and his friends had dressed him in a successful attempt to make him look foolish. they were all quite nice and just having a rambunctious night out. our encounter surly added some humor to our evening and made for a great ending to our day.
