Gellert Thermal Baths

Today Louise and I visited the wonderful Gellert Thermal Baths in Budapest.

I found myself marvelling at my englishness! Why is it we find the concept of nudity and people in close proximity such a big deal? Watching the sheer matter-of-fact behaviour of the 'regulars' as they sat on wooden benches awaiting massages, or as they strolled in and out of the various hot and cold pools really made me aware of my awkwardness. I feel it was a real achievment to have gotten throught the doors! Unusual, but a fantastic and memorable experience.

Good news, and bad

Heard today that I've succesfully made it through to the second phase of the course I applied for at work recently. Great news, but I do now have to prepare a presentation for Tuesday 16th. Not so bad, except I'm going to Budapest tomorrow and won't be back until the evening of the 15th. What luck!
