Fabulous Easter Weekend in Budapest - Day 3

Sunday 4 April 2010
Today is spa day – yippee!!! We got up around 9 and after breakfast headed straight out on the metro to the Széchenyi Baths. Wow, what a day! The baths are amazing...all different temperatures of baths and saunas. Scott was in heaven with all the dry and wet saunas, and I loved all the baths. All different shapes and sizes of people, some very interesting ‘characters’ shall we say! Some pools were hot, some were VERY cold, and others had strong currents that carried you around and around. We spent at least 3 hours relaxing and came out like wet noodles.

After a long relaxing morning, we headed back on the metro to Oktagon and spent the afternoon cafe hopping around Liszt F. Ter. We started for lunch at Menza (http://www.menzaetterem.hu/). I had a lovely spit roasted chicken with coriander rice, and Scott had a traditional Hungarian veal stew. Excellent. We enjoyed a few bevies there and then headed across to Karma for further drinks. We loved this little square with all its restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend it!

For dinner we took the metro back to Batthyány Square and ate at a restaurant recommended by our B&B, but I can’t remember the name. We enjoyed some traditional home cooking and then had a night cap and were in bed before 11pm.
