Bathing in Budapest

Superchilled in a hotpool

Yesterday was amazing. We started off going for a run and after lunch at the flat we headed for the thermal baths. At first we were a bit puzzled, finding our way around the bath house was proving to be a bit of a challenge as it was a maze and there were no signs in english... We found two hot pools and a steam room and sat there thinking "there must be more to it than this...". After a while we ventured down the far end of the building and found the door to the other side. Another few indoor pools but above all there was the outdoor pool, huge beautiful stemin hot outdoor pool. There was also a sauna down some stairs with a cold pool outside it. I spent a little bit of time at the end of the day going between the hot sauna and icecold pool, it was really refreshing! Harland didn't like it at all. There was a whirlpool and a huge jacuzzi down one end of the outside pool, we spent quite a bit of time playing around there
Most of the day, however, was spent just floating around the pool together looking at the clear blue february sky enjoying the warmth.
By the way, the weather has been stunning so far.

Budapest baby- travel journal

After a fantastic week in Sweden we've no arrived in Budapest. When we arrived at the hostel we'd booked we were offered a flat to ourselves for the same price as a double room. The flat is near heroes square and is absolutely stunning a part from amateur like DIY... Last night after we'd made ourselves at home we went for a walk in the area and then down to otragon (the main eating district) for some stunning pizza.

We've spent today waking (lots!) across the river to Buda, up to the castle on the hill to enjoy the view and, after a hairy Gulach, back down again.

We're having a nice, very relaxed time!
