I am leaving for Europe in 7 days, where at one point, I will have adventures in Budapest. I see that the thermal spas are open in the winter. Have any of you posters been to these thermal baths, especially the outdoor baths, in the winter? Is it tolerable? I live in Florida and usually avoid the Gulf until August or so, because I am a cold wimp. Just wanted to know how enjoyable the pools are in the winter, if any of you have feedback.

I went to the Szechenyi Baths in the winter, and absolutely loved the experience. It felt great to been in the warm water with the cool air and the steam rising up all over.
Of course, I'm from Chicago, not Florida.....
