Create a Perfect Day at Gyula, Hungary



If you want to create a perfect day, you should visit Gyula, Hungary. Gyula with its busy tourism is one of the most popular resort towns of Hungary, the center of tourism in county Bekes. The town is ideal for relaxation due to its pleasant climate, shady parks and peace.

One of the famous attractions in Gyula is the Var es Varkilato or the castle museum.  This is open to all the public with the 1500 ft as the entrance fee per person. Tibor and I were really so amazed with its gothic bricks which built from 15th century. The upstairs visitors can see the rooms belonging to the lord, lady, and the commander of the castle, as well as the office room, the reception room of the sanjak bey, an armoury, the halberdiers room and the knights’ room.



At the downstairs, you can find the castle prison which made me feel sad upon seeing the pictures how people tortured and punished during medieval time. You can see in the other room the larder, this is the common place in the house to store food before the refrigerator came, blacksmiths workshop, a pottery workshop, which is also a museum pedagogical room, a wine bar and a chapel.



While going around the place and taking videos and pictures, I have met a Pinay student from Italy named Iridge Udson from Pangasinan who was also having school tour with her classmates. I was so happy to see a Filipino there.

My day was really perfect because I spent my day in castle with my King, Tibor. We actually had a good time after we climbed up the tower. From there, you can see the world. This makes me feel so relax and contemplating. Finally, we ended our castle visitation by Archery - one of the highlights to make our day perfect.It only cost 500 ft(2 USD/80-100 peso) for 5 attempts.







Next to castle adventure is the thermal bath or castle bath, which is the main attraction here in Gyula. It is a medicinal bath and with 19 pools. It’s brown like tea and warm that runs from 30- 36 degrees Celsius. It was awarded the classification of a four- star – the highest category- open-air and medicinal baths. It has developed, now, it offers new, indoor pleasure pools, spa, a wellness centre (sauna and Jacuzzi), new medical treatments, children’s water paradise, bubble bath and a wave bath to visitors like us. Unfortunately, wave bath was not available, so we felt sad we couldn't try it. But, no worries, there are many baths you can try. We tried the medicinal bath and bubble bath to make our day perfect and fun. It was so relaxing. We wish to stay more days, but we need to leave to Budapest the next day.



Well, if you are in budget, you can enjoy just the scenery of the place like river and lake. I like their park and how they well maintain the fountain and its flowers – so beautiful that I enjoyed picking lavenders. You can take pictures with the famous and historical monuments and palaces. You can also try river kayaking here.



There are a lot of ways on how to make your day perfect here in Gyula, Hungary. You can do sight seeing, river kayaking and swimming. Don't forget to always keep the map with you, so you won’t get lost. You can ask map from the tourist centre. When I looked at the map, I was really surprise that we have visited few places out of 21 tourist spots. Meaning, there are a lot of place to visit from. Finally, the most important thing to make your day perfect is to spend your days in Gyula, Hungary with the special someone or with the person you love - your family, friends or lover. I am sure you will have a lot of beautiful memories here.

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially  when you have to step out of your comfort zone.  A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip  are  lessons to reflect upon.  We  have proven how risky traveling is  w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were  times  we  put  our selves in danger because  we  messed out  our  bookings  and things didn't work out as  we  planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used  to booking our next departure  ticket  ever y time  we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had  to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the S...

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries. Family on Snowplay in Mount Donna Buang, Warburton As I was holding Hannah on my left hand while I was holding the bars walking slow...
