« Paul Proposes to Tram | Main | LEAVING DO »

Did you know its really Buda and Pest?

This is our last short break in Europe to Budapest, Hungary. It was a very relaxing trip. Most of our time was spent in Roman baths which had natural hot spring water and also walking around the town. We were also consistently being serenades by musicians in resturants. Budapest is a very romantic town. However, we did get ripped off a few times. I got a fine for not stamping my tickets on the Tram. I also over tipped the musicians in the resturant and got overcharged by taxi drivers. Apart from that it was a really nice weekend.

Enjoy the photos....

This is a beautiful photo of the sunset on our first day in Budapest. We were standing by the river of the Danuabe. There has been many songs written about this river. The hills in the background is Pest.

I thought this was a really cool photo of Paul, it looks very scary. Through the trees is Parliament. It must just be Paul that looks scary. hehe.

This is me after I had a massage. This is the swimming pool. The actual hot baths is behind doors because people go naked. It was very relaxing. All the locals go to the baths before or after work. It is a very popular past time. There was lots of old people there...it was a bit like cacoon, the movie.

This is another spa that we went to...its outdoors. Outside was a bit chilly but the water was 37 degrees in the water. There was also a wirlpool and jacuzzi. We went on a public holiday so there was lots of people there.
