While travelling through Hungary we felt it almost impolite not to sample the very popular national pastime of dipping in thermal baths (unsure of correct verb). There is no swimming allowed, we were seriously informed, you must just sit. So sit we did in 36 degree mineral rich water and waited for something to happen. It was not unpleasant, rather like a giant bath tub (without the bubbles), mostly full of people of an older generation hoping for relief from various aches, pains and disorders. We stayed till we were good and wrinkly and with free access because we were camping in the grounds we wanted our money’s worth of thermal healing. Myself I’m not sure I’d bother again, Tom said he would as long as it smelt more eggy (slightly suspicious of true mineral content). Personally I can’t think of anything much worse than eggy water so he’d be on his own there.
