9/24/11 Budapest Day 3

Everyone that we talked to in Budapest recommended for us to visit one of the Bath Houses. So we did!

I expected this visit to be similar to that of a Korean Spa. Quiet, calm, relaxing… Although I hear the Korean Spa in South bay is quite different from the one I’m used to. And so was this bath house. It was overflowing with tourists, literally. The place was huge with several outdoor pools and then about 20 indoor saunas/pools. This included wet and dry saunas and pools with different types of water.  It wasn’t the completely relaxing experience that I had hoped for but we still got a tan and had fun jumping from one pool to the other. (Oh and the whirlpool was just awesome!)

We even made some friends. Two guys who were traveling to Budapest through a Sokhnut program from Germany with a group of about 200. They even invited us to a party on a boat the same night. Unfortunately, we decided not to go as we planned to leave Budapest the following morning and needed to be away at 6 am.  Let’s hope that they managed to have a good time without us 

Dear Irin, as a representative of Sokhnut, do you think you can help arrange a trip to Budapest to the members of Mishmash? It seemed like a very educational program for everyone involved! Did I mention that they got to spend a day in a bath house and a night partying on the boat? :)

P.S. from Levka - I think it was on this day that Julie got to eat matzo-ball soup second only to our mothers’.
