Toga party

As we sat, practically naked, surrounded by a handful of old men in a similar state of undress, we suddenly realised the flannel on a string was infact not compulsory attire..

Yes so today.
Followed directly on from yesterday, when we went crawling around in the caves below budapest for just over 2 and a 1/2 hours with this fine group of people we had just met that you at approximately 50 metres below ground, which happens to only be the second lowest point of the tour. This was an interesting way to spend the afternoon, especially considering I am a little claustrophobic, I don't freak out in lifts or anything, but I don't like gaps that look like you could get stuck in them, gaps like this one, and my light kept dying. Joy.

So Today, we felt as though we deserved to relax, to unwind and chill out, and we felt as though we deserved this even more, after a mammoth hike up a hill, to get to a thermal baths, that we were under the impression were at the top of said hill. Turned out we were wrong and they weren't. Damn. So right back down to the bottom of the hill, where we did find this building, and after much confusion with staff that didn't understand us, we found ourselves in a locker room with a piece of cloth resembling a small apron and right back at the story i started at the beginning of the blog entry, before going off on a Tangent.

It wasn't until we saw someone enter the baths in their shorts did we actually realise we didn't need to wear the toga's and could have worn our shorts as originally planned. damn.
But after you get past the wearing practically nothing, and being surrounded by old men wearing practically nothing and the strong smell of rotten eggs that seems to be coming from the running parts of the water, its actually really relaxing. Click here if you would like to see pictures.

Apart from that, we went to a cinema that shows films in English at certain times of day, and watched Wanted. Which is fantastic by the way.
