The Baths and Donuts

The first and second weekend we went to the Szenchenyi Baths. I didn't take my camera with because I don't want to drop it in the water so I got these pictures online. They were taken in summer but since these baths are warm you can go in them outside year round.

There are 3 pools outside. The first one is pretty warm and the center of it is a giant whirlpool, like the lazy river only fast. Every half an hour or so the entire pool turns into a big jacuzzi with bubbles everywhere. The middle pool is a big lap pool. The last pool is my favorite. It is 38 degrees Celsius and really nice after running across the entire courtyard wet in 20 degree weather.

This is the whirlpool.


This is the warmest pool.
In the warm pool there are old men playing chess all around the sides.

The inside is a series of rooms with different pools. Many of the pools are warm and some have mineral water so they are green. There is one pool that is really cold (18 degrees Celsius).

We are planning to go to different baths in the future to see which ones we like the best. There is a party at the Rudas bath in March that we have already bought tickets for. The Gellert spa is right next door to our school. I really like Szenchenyi because it is outside, I don't think any of the other baths are outside. The second time we went it was nighttime and it was so nice just to float in warm water and look up at the stars.


Before we went to the baths the first weekend Lorraine made these French donuts. They are citrus flavored and delicious!
