Up about 8 30. Met Jenny and Mark at 10 and headed to the labyrinth under castle in Buda. They were really scary! Much darker than I thought theyd be with sinister music and drums playing. Sent Mark into all the dark corners to check for scary things! Random statues around that made me and Jenny jump, pathetic! Went through a room called the 'Labyrinth from Another World'. Thought it was real at first as had info plaques. Had fossils with imprints of trainers, mobile phone, laptop and giant coke bottle. quite amusing. Mark and Jenny then went in the 'Labyrinth of Courage', pitch dark with a string to guide you. Not my cup of tea so met them the other end. Walked down the hill and got a taxi to Deak Square. Went for a look around the shops and had really cheap chinese for lunch. Came back to hostel and collected bikini and headed for the Szechenzyi thermal baths with Jenny in the city park. Walked up Andrassy Ut and saw some old buildings and found Heroes Square again. Statues of leaders, saints etc in a monument, liked it a lot. Got to the baths about 4 and went in. really old fashioned inside, like stepping back in time. Baths consisted of several smallish pools of varying temperatures. Some are meant to be medicinal with the extra minerals. Went in few, one felt warm wee so left it quite quickly! Found a sauna a spent some time in there. Found our way outside and first pool was cold so moved to one with steam, mmm! on way out found a pool with really strong current. Jenny got in first and got swept away I was giggling so much I struggled to stay above water. Difficult to get out and this time it was Jenny's turn to laugh at me. Was clinging to rail and due to current was bouncing off the side, must have looked v funny. Hauled myself out and had to wait a while for Jenny to stop laughing so she could get out herself. Really good end to baths. Got changed and headed back to hostel on the metro. The stations are very cute, all tiled walls and old looking. despite huge ad campaign for Burger King resisted and ate pasta at hostel again, took less time tonight. Packed bag and headed to the bar again. Checked for results yet again and went to bed about 11.
