Being Easter, there were various events on to celebrate spring. We had planned to go to the castle area anyway and discovered when we got there that there was a market, selling tastes of Hungary, showing various crafts and with a programme of folk dancing. It was an excellent show with two groups taking turns to put on an extremely energetic display. They were then followed by a group of schoolchildren who were following the example of their elders. It all looked like good fun and the men in particular must have been very fit with a continuous show of jumping leg slapping and generally showing off to the beautifully dressed women. We were glad we hadn't bought tickets for the folk dance show that night as we had already seen such a great performance. The singing, often unaccompanied was also very good.
Rona and Keith had recommended visiting one of the thermal baths so we decided to go to the Gellert Baths, based in the Gellert Hotel. It is an Art Deco building with a great deal of stained glass, columns and decorative tiling. The main pool was not as warm as we had expected but the side pool was just lovely and we emerged some time later very much refreshed by the mineral waters and slept a great sleep that night.
