Sunday out... in Felix Spa

There's this really cool and famous (in Romania at least) thermal baths resort right near my hometown, Oradea. It is the biggest of its kind in Romania and it's called Baile Felix - Felix Baths/Spa. Felix in Latin means happy so these would be the happy baths. It's a really nice place. I went there today with my friends for a walk and some fresh air. It was nice, really nice. :) I also took my camera with me so I could catch a few moments and to the right you can see some of the coolest. I'll try to explain a few things to you.
I'm not religious but I love beautiful buildings. And that church over there is really nice. Entirely made of wood, it was disassembled, brought to this marvelous place and reassembled. Quite a lot of work. This is quite amazing in this part of the world. There are a lot of churches. Here in Felix Spa I've seen at least 2 and in the surrounding area there should be at least 3 more. That's quite a lot taking into consideration the area we're talking about.
In one of the pictures we have a frog on a water lily. I don't know how many of you knew, but Felix Baths's thermal water lilies are in a natural reservation and protected by law. Other water lilies like this in their natural environment can only be found in Egypt.
And the last thing I want to tell you about tonight is the large size chess "table" that the Termal Hotel is offering for use, free of charge. You can see us playing in the pictures. It was so much fun playing chess with such large pieces. It doesn't give you a very good perspective of the table and situation, but it's still very cool.
So this is what I was doing this Sunday sunny afternoon, when I should have been studying. But hey! A little bit of mind relaxation it's just welcomed in this moments. If you ever feel tense, and there's a sunny day outside, I strongly recommend you to catch your breath in this marvelous place.
