The cheap option...

Yes, I know it's a horribly grainy, digitally-zoomed, iPhone photo but...well, I had nothing else with me. Anyway, outside the Gellért Hotel which boasts an utterly foul interior as a result of modifications in the style of socialism which have yet to be ripped out and confined to the dustbin of style where they most definitely belong, we spotted this oddity. As well as foul interiors, the Gellért Hotel boasts a spa which is somewhat overpriced as regards entry...and here, someone has found a solution...the run-off from the thermal bath flows into the Danube (it appears), and two old blokes have created a rock pool in which to savour the health-enhancing effects of the waters of the Gellért, without having to pay through the nose for it. We shall gloss swiftly over the benefits of the health-enhancing water, balanced against the decidedly unhealthy practice of sitting in a pretty dirty river with all that it entails, and hope that these two gentlemen enjoyed nothing but enhanced health as a result of their money-saving plan!
