Rise and Shine, it's Bath Time!

Daily step count: approximately 21,000. Today started out great. We
woke up at 5:30 so we could make it to a traditional Hungarian bath
house for the 6:00 opening. Kristy, Trevor, Ty, and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. Shannon would have loved it but she didn't come.
The bath house had at least 10 different hot and cold tubs of varying
sizes. There was a large tub outside that was more beautiful than
anything in Vegas, or maybe even Disney. Wow, I know. There were
multiple saunas as well. We were brave enough to test out the 80-100
degree C for about two minutes. It felt like Hell. Even the slightest
sniff felt like my nostrils were on fire.
We made it back to the hotel and ate a delicious included breakfast at
our hotel. Luckily we got to store our backpacks at the hotel because
today was HOT!! We decided to spend our little amount of time on a hop
on-hop off bus tour which proved invaluable. We were able to see the
highlights of the city without the waking. Downfall: being in the sun
all day.
One of the stops on the bus tour was at Heroe's Square. It has An art
museum on either side and a giant statue in the middle. It was on the
list of things Ben Carlson told me to see so I'm glad I did.
My favorite thing from the tour was the castle. It was mostly a giant
permanent sand castle wall that surrounded a church. The church had
the most exquisite tile roof ever. It's even better than roof on the
church by the capital.
After the bus tour we went on a boat tour of the Danube. That makes a
boat tour in every country so far. Maybe we'll keep the habit. Another
thing we've run into in every country is missionaries. The pair in
France didn't stop to talk, the Belgian set was at church, and this
Hungarian set was interested in conversation. 3/4 were from Utah, and
1 from Cuba.
After the boat tour we ate a traditional Hungarian meal, goulash stew
and potatoes. We made it back to the hotel and got our bags and headed
to the train station across the street. It took a while for the ticket
lady to sell us the tickets to Bratislava but it finally happened. The
train didn't come on time and we finally made it out of the station
more than an hour later. We are sharing a compartment with a cute
Swedish girl who played Phase 10 with us.
We've been on the train for nearly three hours and I think we are
almost to Bratislava. Who knows what we'll do tomorrow before we go to
Austria but I'm sure it will be fabulous.
Good night my dears.
