Thermal Bath

http://www.budapestgyogyfurdoi.hu/en

I recommend Széchenyi - that is the biggest with lots of outdoor and indoor pools,




and Lukács - that is smaller and cheaper but also very pretty.



but I have never been and I would love to go to Rudas



and Gellért!

Slovenia

Slovenia is one of our neighbor countries and has a super wonderful, green and wild nature with much higher mountains than Hungary. I have already been to the capital, Ljubljana and Porec on the seaside. Porec was cute, but Croatia's seaside is much nicer. So if we are doing a trip to Slovenia, let's just stay in the hills!
Ljubljana is 10 hours far by train from Budapest and the return ticket costs 50 euros. The city is pretty and small, so a day or two it's more than enough there.




I would love to visit the Bled lake, that is only 75 minutes by bus (cost ~7 euros) from Ljubljana. There is a little island with a church in the middle of the lake.

The Soca river is famous by it's incredibly bright color. I wanna see it with my eyes! It's in the north of Slovenia, but I guess we can get there by bus as well from Ljubljana. We could also try some guided canoe trip at the calmer parts of the river, and if we get wild, have some rafting ;)
(or just look at it from the side of the river) :P

Szentendrei sziget (Szentendre island)

It's a wonderful green island of the river Danube in the north, that we can easily reach by bike. We can ride the bike to Szentendre town from Budapest, that is about 1,5-2 hours, or go by HÉV (interurban train) in 40 min. From Szentendre it's about 1,5 hours to get to the little pond on the island by bike, where we are standing with Cat on the photo. In warmer days we can also have a swim there ;)
On the way there we can cross a bridge to the island and the way back take a ferry, or the opposite.



...and some other photos of the island from the internet...
