4 Degrees Celsius & we're lovin' it in Budapest, Hungary!

Well,

Picture the scene if you will...ice cool temperatures, Ukranian Ural winds and goosebumps all over. Such was the task of your beloved narrators that they would endure such frigid temperatures all for the price and glimpse of life at one of Budapest's thermal pools.

A day at the pools is pretty routine for most people living here, there are just so many to choose from but we picked a good'en. The neo-classical splendour and rich architecture could not be more symbiotic if it tried. Older men with swimming caps played chess on marble stands in the center of the warm pools while there lady friends did water gymnastics in another pool over the heated whirlpools from underground.

Extra perks included massages, dining facilities and lap pools, together with plunge pools after the sauna all set in the most idyllic location.
