The first days of our travels

Yesterday, March 26th 2014, we arrived at Budapest and everything went perfectly smoothly... Almost... Anyway, after a bit of a disaster, we finally found ourselves at Hotel Dzungel right next to the zoo. The weather was nice and sunny and the food was great ( except that there was way too much of it ), the people here are very friendly although the we are having a bit of a language barrier ( not everyone speaks English ).

Today, March 27th, we finally got the wifi password and so were able to start this blog

 ( HURRAY! ). We spent the day circling around the zoo and taking photos of the animals until our cameras batteries wore out. ( No wonder, since there is about 5000 animals, 500 different species and 300 000 square meters to cover... ). We already clearly had our own favorites among the animals; the "Timons" ( the meerkats ), the "Sherekhan" ( the bengal tiger ), the "Tantors and Dumbos" ( the african and indian elephants ),  the "King Julians" ( the ring-tailed lemurs ) and of course the "Ghost" ( the arctic wolves ), sadly, we couldn't find any "Pumbaas" ;(

After about 4 hours of staring in wonder at everything, we met some of the workers for lunch ( again, way too much food in one portion ) and had some info about what we'll be doing the following weeks. We also arranged a "tour" to the local grocery store with one of the workers for later. She also pointed out some other good places to visit for us during the short car ride. The rest of the day we just enjoyed each others company and well, wrote this for you all to see of course ;) ( as if anyone's even gonna read this )
