Last day in Budapest

My last day in Budapest for this time, I had an early start and headed for the Király thermal bath. This another bat built by the Ottomans in the 16th Century, but unlike Rudas it has not been renovated since the 50's. Small, run-down and simple, it was still an almost filmic experience to step in under the ancient dome and down in the hot water. The room was full of steam and through it rays of light from the cuppola shimmered.

Then I packed up, checked out from excellent Hotel Soho and went for the airport. Finally I will sleep in my own bed again!
