You’ve heard the saying…..When in Rome do as the Romans do……how about applying that philosophy to Hungary? When in Hungary, do as Hungarians do….Bathe! And, oh boy, bathe we did. It was a bath like no other. The thermal pools were everywhere. And in any variety of temperatures. Hot and only tolerable for a few minutes to so cool we had to move to stay warm. What!?!? Move?
We spent the afternoon in a very traditional Hungarian bathing house – magnificently ornate and disorientingly cavernous.
While we bathed we played chess, we giggled while going round and round in a jet powered circle, we experimented with jets on our feet, neck and backs, we frolicked, we gawked at the itty bitty bathing suits, sat in the saunas, and had a really good time being a temporary local doing what we were surprised to discover, many locals do, regularly.
