Great spa day!

So, today I spent most of the day at the Szechenyi spa, it was awesome and I met a neat couple named Des & Judy for near Cork, Ireland. They had one part in one of the outdoor pools that had a circle around a spa, and the way the water jets worked, it would push you around the circle. Hard to describe, but it was fun! I tried several of the indoor pools and then treated myself to an hour long massage. Ahhhhh. Btw, it was only about 35* outside, so it was a little chilly running from of the outdoor pools to another, lol. I also got some great photos of Hero's Park. After the spa, I came back to the hotel and dropped my stuff off then headed back out. I wanted to go across the river to the Buda side. My friend David said it would be a great place to take a photo of the Parliament at night from. So, I took the Metro (which goes under the river!) over to the Buda side and took some great photos of the Parliament. I can't wait until I can get back to Stuttgart and share them with you here on my blog (I've been posting a few pics on my Facebook). I wanted some Hungarian food for dinner, so I found a small hole in the wall restaurant and got a wonderful sampler plate. I also had a desert pancake (what they call pancakes over here, we call crepes!).

After dinner I came back to the hotel. Now it's already almost 11pm, morning will come early! I'm going to get up in time for the hotel breakfast (this morning I slept too late & missed it!) and then the shuttle bus is supposed to pick me up at 9:30 am and I'll be winging my way back to Stuttgart, arriving in the early afternoon. I'm sure my doggies will be happy to see me!

Time to sign off....

Auf Weidersehen,
Kris
