Budapest was so much fun and the hostel was so great and we met so many cool people there that we decided to forget about our plans to visit Bratislava, Slovakia and instead spend the remainder or Karol's time in Budapest. This turned out to be a great idea as we got to experience the unique Budapest Bath Party.
For six weeks over the summer, one of the big Hungarian bathhouses throws a party every Saturday night. DJs, neon lights, poolside bar, and lots of almost naked, drunken people in the water. As fun as it sounds, I was initially reluctant as it seemed like an easy way to get sick, especially with the nights being cold at the minute. But when I heard that this was the last party of the summer, I decided it might be a cool experience. And indeed it was a lot of fun.
Our crew, which consisted of Karol, me and a growing number of cool Aussies, joined the Party Hostel peoples for pre-bath party drinks in a park near the bathhouse. Another big bottle of Ballantines whiskey and just a little cola put us in good spirits for the fun that was to follow.
It was definitely a sexy party, but not at all like I was expecting. The bath which was open air, was actually very classy. Nice walls of European architecture surrounded one large open bath, nicely heated and full of people frolicking, dancing and drinking cans of beer. I wish I could say I remembered it all, but I can't. However, I do remember feeling very happy and very glad I went.
