從哪裡開始 從哪裡失去

I've arrived at Eger which is one of the most beautiful towns of Hungary with lots of historic buildings. It lies in the valley of the Eger Stream.
This town is famous for its wine. There are over 70 wine cellars here. The local residents are proud of red wine A.K.A. Bull's Blood.
Employees of the wine cellars are so friendly and they made me try a lot of wine.

Probably, I drank too much. I'll take a taxi because I'm not confident that I can find my way to the hotel.

I'm going to stay in Balatonfured tonight. This is also an old resort. It has a very historical and cultural feeling to it.
I went to a spa. I not only took a bath but also drank hot spring water which is effective for your stomach and intestines. I took a walk in the town because my blood circulation has improved, and my organs have become healthy.
They say this town has flourished since old times. I felt deeply attached with the history and culture of the city.
I hope you understand the atmosphere from the attached picture.

Anyway, I'm hungry what should I eat tonight?

I came to Heviz. There's a natural spa lake, which has an area of 4.7 hectares. It's balanced that hot and cold spring water from the underground mix in the spa. The water temperature is 34 degrees centigrade in summer, and 26 degrees centigrade in winter. This spa lake is well-known in the whole of Europe. I rented a swimming ring, and was space out while floating on the lake.

For dinner I ate stew which had carp or rainbow trout in it.

Again I took a bath this morning. I was so relaxed! I took a picture of the fantastic spa lake.

Jo reggeit kivanok HsinJu,

It means good morning in Hungarian. I woke up early, and took a bath this morning. Most of spas open from 6 a.m. to the evening. It seems you should take a bath during the daytime.
I visited Kiraly Spa which is about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) from my hotel. The spa was established in 1570 while Hungary was occupied by Turkey. Hot water is brought from Lukacs through pipe. It was damaged in World War 2, but started again in 1959.
The roof of the building is an Islamic dome roof. The water temperature wasn't hot enough, but it was relaxing.

I'm going to see the sights in Lukacs, the origin of Kiraly Spa, after this.

Jo estet kivanok ,

There are some museums around this square. The square is flanked on either side by the Museum of Fine Arts and the Palace of Art. After seeing them, the buildings began to light up while I was taking a tea break.
The pictures are of the Museum of Fine Art and the Opera House.

I'm going to move around Budapest tonight.

It means good evening in Hungarian.
It's a little past ten p.m. What time is it in your hometown,
nozomid?

I went to another museum in the Castle District. I could easily visit them because they're concentrated. I learnt much about Budapest's history and art.

The picture is of the castle and Gellert hotel. Don't you think they're beautifully lit up? It seems many buildings are lit up. I'm going to walk around the town tomorrow night.

In Hungary, boiled cuisine is popular. I ate paprika chicken,
which has well-boiled chicken in it, tonight. It's one of the main dishes in Hungary.

Good morning ,

I took a bath this morning. I was so relaxed! Guess where I am now. I'm at Gellert Spa in Budapest, Hungary. What kind of image do you have of Hungary, HsinJu? You may think of F1 car racing or the Danube River. In fact, Hungary is famous for spas. People of the Roman Empire also enjoyed these spas.
They say there are over 400 spa facilities in Hungary.
Incidentally, there are over 50 spas in Budapest.

The picture is of a spa pool of Gellert hotel.

 To tell the truth, I made friends with an Iranian called Mohammed through e-mail.
