Eger Rest Day One

Tuesday was spent at the thermal baths and sight seeing. Eger is a large city and attracts many tourists.
The thermal baths are a big attraction. There are different baths at different temperatures. One of the Turkesh baths date back 16 century and there has been one discovered as far back as  1062.
The town is known for Eger Castle which defended the area from the Turks. In one battle 2000 soldiers held the fort against tens of thousands Turks.
We are all getting well rested for the mountains that lie between here and Miskolc. However, we have one more day of rest before leaving here.
