Travelling in Budapest
Day 11 – Ljubljana (travelling to Zagreb) Day 7 saw us travelling to Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The three-hour train journey was quick and easy, and we arrived straight into the mid-afternoon heat and bustle of Budapest´s Keleti train station. The heat really hit us, as Bratislava had been quite cool! We travelled straight to the hostel, Maxim Doubles, which is the nicest place we´ve stayed so far! After a week of travelling and sleeping in hostels, we decided we deserved a trip to one of Budapest´s famous thermal spas, the Szechenyi Furdo. The spa is in Pest, in the City Park, and dates back to 1918. It was heaven! Big outdoor swimming pool, thermal baths indoors and outdoors (ranging from 30 to 38 degrees), lots of different pools to go in (including a 20 degree one, which was quite chilly after the thermal ones!), saunas and jacuzzis! Ahhhh!
