Hi Chris. I'm not exactly a regular but I go maybe 3/4 times a year usually
in the colder months especially if the weather is horrible! I'm lucky - I
only live about 10/15 mins walk from the baths. I'd like to try Porchester
some time and the Docklands certainly seem to be quite active.

I've passed through Budapest a couple of times but have never been lucky
enough to visit the baths there. There are several to choose from I
understand.

Can you check the link you sent me - it doesn't seem to work.

I've requested to add you as a Contact on Yahoo - hope you don't mind.

Colin
