Spa in Budapest thermal baths

---

Budapest. I've been here for nearly 12 days so far. I've fall in love with this city. When I made plans to come here, I had no idea how lovely it would be.

I have an incredible time on the river cruise which took off on the Danube at about 9:30pm. The Buda Castle, Freedom Statue, Parliament and other major sights and bridges were illuminated by lights.

I am a spa addict. Everywhere I wanna try the spa's the resorts.
the Gellert Spa, is a channels the hot thermal springs from the ground.
The Gellert Spa is supposedly the most famous of all the spas in Budapest. We didn't want to leave. In addition to a wave pool and warm thermal pool outside, there were several more bathing spots inside the complex. There were a few coed baths, but there were also segregated baths. Gus and I split up for a while to take in all the wonderful medicinal qualities of the slightly sulphuric spring water.


This is the facade of the hotel where the thermal baths are located.
other was 38. Also, there was a steam room that was about 45 to 50 degrees Celsius. After the steam room, you could pop into the 18 degree pool for a shockingly refreshing cooldown . It was wonderful to soak for a long time after all the sight seeing and walking around. I think we're going to head back tomorrow.


Overall, this city feels a little untouched by western culture which makes it that much more charming. I am truly enjoying the somewhat more affordable lifestyle as well. Gotta keep an eye on the budget ...

Well, we're off to Vienna and Prague next week and then Ireland. I can't wait to see more ....
