Today was the day we would go to the eastern side of Budapest, the "Pest" side, and visit the royal district up on Castle Hill, and then do some shopping. The weather was quite harsh at times, with cold northern winds just a few degrees above zero and some light rains, which was what made us finally decide on skipping Gellert Hill.

Lots of tesselation, that was fun as we just covered this in my math class...
God's and saints hanging out and keeping watch on their turf
The Buda side. Budapest is divided by the Danube much like Uppsala is, in my personal opinion. The western Buda side is more green and more hilly while the Pest side is flat and more built on.
The Roayl castle, which holds several museums (historical, modern art)
Excellent cholocate shop break.
Vegetables at Nagyesarnok, The Great Market Hall.
If you like sausages or market halls in the least, you have to visit Nagyesarnok. The prices on hungarian sausages are just fantastic. We bought 1.5 kilos and we stayed below 100 SEK/15$.
On the upper floor you instead have a lot of stalls for clothing, jewelry, toys and more.
If you like leather in any form of clothing, Jajcica is the place to go. They have quite the collection of used clothing, and not just leather, but that was the main thing. I saw racing overalls, heavy metal jackets, and lots and lots of boots. Prices are OK, but not cheap. Nothing that would stop you from bying *that* piece, but you wont spend money on stuff just for the sake of it.
Boots
And more boots
Day 3 is here.
