We’re in one of the many thermal spas in Budapest. Its one of the must do’s. It was a little intimidating because you have no idea what the procedures are but everybody is very friendly and helpfull. It’s our last day here and I’m going to miss this city a lot. It’s an Art Nouveau Disney Land and I thouroughly enjoyed discovering some great buildings just by wandering around the city.

The highlight of Budapest was the zoo. Sheru refuses to go to zoos so I went alone. Not for the animals but for the architecture. I’m jealous of the elephants in the elephant house. They have the coolest Art Deco building! I loved it. I took dozens of pictures, but not of the elephants. The people must have thought I’m nuts. They gave me some funny looks. But I didn’t care, I was deeply in love with the building. When I find an internet café I’ll put some pictures up.

Another very cool thing was statue park. This is where all the statues and placks of the socialist area reside now. Typical communist statues. Massive and glorifying the soviets.

Terror house provided us with the realities of this and the Nazi era. Its a museum in the formar headquarters of the secret police. It was impressive, moving and very well done.

A few more hours and we’re off take take a night train to Poland.
