First hand tea bag experience

---

Geo: 47.45, 21.4

It would seem that Eastern Europe is covered in hot springs. This sounds like something we had to try so we have checked out a few of these but had been put off by the large number of bus loads of tourists sporting bikini type swim wear whom did not get the memo about not wearing brief swim wear if you have been overindulging in the national food "icecream". Seriously scary stuff.

Regardless persistence has paid off and we found a caravan park that had one of these therapeutic springs on the site and most seem to be wandering around in their dressing gowns which was way less confronting. Darren and I spend the next 10 minutes trying to work out how you get into the caged affair, and then randomly pick a pool of tea coloured water rumoured to be at 34-36 deg. We exchange pleasantries with the older icecream consuming Hungarians whom we assume are having a deep and meaningful about whether or not the EEC should self implode and sit in what seems like a giant cup of tea. Interestingly the water was very soft and felt quite good, google to the rescue told us our tea coloured water was an ancient sea water and largely iodine soaked. After aclimitation period we headed to the next pond which was hotter and cooked ourselves for a while. This pond was English breakfast tea coloured and I felt just like a tea bag floating around. Darren was not in too long before heading to the colder pond. Had his hot pond face on, which is much like his hot bus face.


The next day we went to the AquaPark next door and dam what
a crazy place. I can explain it all here just google Hajduboszormeny and have a
look yourself.

Early morning delivery
Old fellow delivering fresh eggs and honey. I did not realise that was what he was doing and felt incredibly guilty when he stopped as he must have been at least 110 and wobbled off the bike all crippled up. Amazing he could ride. PS no helmet required

Lucky you they had bikinis on! In Budapest at the hot springs it was mandatory to go in the raw! Not a pretty site considering the passion for ice cream!!!!

NO! Not Darryn's hot-bus face?!?!? (Is that a lot like his 'you've gone too far and now I'm really pissed off' face?

Yep Sue you have got it in one

[harryabroad]

omg!! That is scary Juliet, thanks for the tip we could not see too much of interest in Budapest and but that is scary, we might head to the mud baths that are in the buff also should be okay if they just look like swamp monsters, maybe
