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.
