Széchenyi Baths


One of the places that we heard that was a "must see" was the Széchenyi Baths in Budapest.  Of course they were overpriced, but it was still quite the experience.  We were there for about two hours and I don't think we spent more than ten minutes in one pool, most of them less than that.  We decided that we just had to try out all of the different baths so we could get all those minerals deep into our skin and experience its healing power.  

Okay, so we may have enjoyed people-watching more than we enjoyed the minerals in the water, but we had a good time nonetheless.  One down side was that we didn't have any towels.  We had heard that you could rent towels there but it was later in the day when we got there (about 5pm) and when we went to the towel rental place, the lady offered us a wet towel that someone had just used, saying those were the only ones she had.  Gotta love Europeans - not only did she offer me a towel someone else had used, she wanted me to pay for it.  We chose to air dry.
