Butha-Buthe (also Buta-Buthe) is the capital city or camptown of the Butha-Buthe District in Lesotho. It has a population of approximately 10,000 (2004). It is named for Butha-Buthe Mountain to the north of the town, which King Moshoeshoe I used as his a fortification and headquarters from 1821 to 1823, during his war with the Zulu king Shaka. The city’s name means “place of deposits.”
Butha-Buthe was founded in 1884 in order to provide the local ruler with a place where he could pay taxes, rather than forcing him to the more distant town of Hlotse.
The town has a high school called Bokoro High School. A Canadian organization called Help Lesotho, has been assisting the school with their literary skills, and it is now becoming one of the highest ranked schools for literacy skills out of the schools, assisted by Help Lesotho. Bokoro is twinned with Ridgemont High School in Ottawa.

Ro Римские бани в английском Бате / Roman Baths Bath (фоторепортаж)Вообще мне везет на спа-курорты. Только недавно вернулся из Чехии, где посетил проездом Карловы Вары(ссылка на фоторепортаж), а летом был в английском Royal Leamington SPA, о чем тоже Вам рассказывал. 1. Итак, почему же римские бани и при чем тут древний Рим когда мы находимся на юго-западе Великобритании? Для тех, у кого во время уроков по истории древнего Рима в школе были дела поважнее, вот карта владений римской империи: 2. В конце 18 века были начаты раскопки, когда Бат уже был известным курортом. Сейчас на месте римского комлекса бань действует музей: 3. Даже на входе следы реконструкции: 5. В стоимость билета входит аудиогид: 6. Очень неудобный, как телефонная трубка. Нужно постоянно держать его одной рукой. И как снимать? 7. Осмотр музея начинается с балкона купальни: 8. Вдоль балкона установлены скульптуры римских правителей, так или иначе имеющих отношение к правлению британскими землями: 10. Отсюда открывается вид на средневековое здание Батского Аббатства: 12. С римскими скульптурами смотрится очень эффектно: 13. Люди у купальни “наслаждаются” цветом мутно-зеленой, но вероятно полезной воды: 14. Вот макет римского комплекса. Справа видно, как подведена каналом термальная вода: 15. Более реалистичный макет: 17. Главная площадь и вход в купальни: 18. В нижнем пролете комплекса сделан мостик, с которого хорошо видно римскую укладку плит. Здесь очень влажно: 19. В полумраке можно рассмотреть детали: 22. Справа у стены желоб, по которому подавалась вода: 23. Выставлена римская посуда и приборы: 24. Украшения 25. Банные ковшы: 27. Древнеримские монеты: 29. Холодок по коже, когда представляю сколько им лет: 30. Немного физики. Здесь показан каменный блок из которых строили комплекс и способ его перемещения. Сейчас разберемся подробнее: 31. Для наглядности показаны два макета. Дальний слева – прямой рычаг, чуть ближе рычаг который использовали римляне для облегчения усилий. Можно попробовать поднять и тот и другой. При одинаковом весе блока, чувствуется значительная разница в затрате сил: 32. Кстати, рычаг натурального каменного блока специально закрыт, дабы 33. Здесь показано, как хитрые римляне крепили блоку к подъемнику. Сначала делалось отверстие в блоке, далее поочередно вставляли три модуля конусного крепления. Среднее, выполняло роль распорки: 34. Вот так это выглядело: 35. Сток отработанной воды из комплекса: 36. Все работает по сей день: 37. Выходим к купальне с нижнего уровня: 38. Вот так подается вода в купальню: 39. Тут написано – воду руками не трогать, но я, специально для вас проверил – реально теплая: 41. Ну и в завершении еще одно изобретение римлян. Система подогрева пола: 42.

Central,friendly.Veli Bej Spa BudapestLooking for a great Spa experience and a relaxing stay in Budapest?Császár Baths (Veli Bej) is in the same building as Hotel Csaszar Budapest. It’s one of the oldest Turkish baths in Budapest and It was fully renovated recently. A great choice if you like to relax a bit during a city break or a long weekend. You also have free direct access to the pools of Hotel Csaszár, 50 meters and a 25 meters swimming pool included in all room prices too! Take a look at the introduction video of the Spa: Additional wellness-services included:
Opening Hours of the Spa6:00 – 12:00 and 15:00 – 21:00
The History of the Veli Bej SpaThe healing waters in this location date back to Roman times. The Turkish bathhouse, originally named Veli Bej, was built in the 16th century during the Turkish era. Commissioned by pasha Szokullu Musztafa, this was one of the most beautiful baths of its time. The original stone building survived the varied history of the ensuing centuries. After the Turkish occupation the bath was renamed to Kayser Bad, Császár Baths in Hungarian, and later it was given to the Order of Hospitallers, who used it for healing the sick. Throughout the years several extensions were added to the core building. The Classicist-style building, still in use today, was designed in the 19th century by architect József Hild. Today, this building houses a hospital and a hotel that faces the Komjádi Sport Swimming Pool, another one of the additions to the original complex. The historic Turkish bathhouse, which was closed to the general public for decades, regained its original splendor with the recent renovations. Location of Veli BejIt’s quite difficult to find this spa, also known as Császár Baths. The beautifully renovated Turkish bath complex Veli Bej Spa is situated on the other side of the swimming complex of Hotel Csaszar. Now it’s fully open to the public. There is a café and the beauty salon at the main entrance. Prices of the Veli Bej SpaPrices are starting form around 8 EUR, 2800 HUF. Unfortunately the Spa doesn’t have its own website, but you can check for updates on their facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/Irgalmasok-Veli-Bej-Fürdője/ Upon paying the entrance fee you’ll receive a plastic armband that grants access to the baths and to a locker. The armband opens and closes the locker by simply touching the lock with it. Each armband is assigned to a different locker and, should you forget your locker number, there’s a scanner in the locker room to help you find the right one. Veli Bej is coed, even the locker room, meaning that men and women use the same area, equipped with several changing cabins, to change into their bathing suits. Children are not allowed to enter the spa area. Veli Bej detailsThe facility offers a large octagonal, hot-water thermal pool, surrounded by four smaller thermal pools with different temperatures, a modern swimming pool, a Jacuzzi and a special bathtub for hydrotherapies. The wellness section is equipped with steam baths and various saunas, including an infra-sauna. Massages are also available. The main attraction here is without a doubt the traditional octagonal pool under the Turkish dome. No matter what time of the day you visit, the pleasant, dimly lit pool area nicely complements the water’s calming effects. For relaxation, there are chairs and deck-chairs scattered around the pool beneath the dome. Veli Bej’s rich history is also on display in a small, on-site exhibition featuring a number of archeological finds. The hot springs feeding the thermal pools rise from the wells of the nearby Lukács Baths and from Margaret Island. The waters, rich in calcium, magnesium, hydrogen-carbonate, sulfate and sodium, with a significant content of fluoride ions, are recommended to help cure degenerative illnesses of joints, chronic and semi-acute arthritis, spinal problems and post-injury healing. Though the bath’s thermal water is known for its healing powers, you don’t have to have any ailments to appreciate it. Visiting Veli Bej is a fun and pleasant way to wind down and relax the body and mind in an historic setting. Dariko
Autumn has finally arrived to Tbilisi. End of October is the right time to feel the temperature decrease up to scary +12 or even frightening +10 Celsius, to see some rain and fog behind the window… But what if you’re a tourist with just a day or two to see everything? Do you feel like sitting in a hotel or apartment? No? My usual recommendations (in case there are no festivals or concerts in the city) are: Museum of Soviet Occupation and National Gallery (I like them myself), Zurab Tsereteli Museum of Modern Arts, Rezo Gabriadze Marionette Theater, Kakha Bakuradze Movement Theater or Pantomime Theater. Finding veritas in vino (I mean wine tastings in multiple cellars) is also a good idea. But one of the most proper and authentic option in case of rain (also: sadness, hangover, need of real Georgian experiences) is a visit to sulfur bath. I avoid quoting Alexander Pushkin’s praise of Tbilisi baths, however, I have also never experienced something better. Probably because I am not allowed to visit a traditional one (Russian style) with its infernal heat and steam, this kind of thermal water is my best way to get at least some hot treatment. The main reason of a visit to a sulfur bath is experiencing the healing effect of hot sulfuric water, which is flowing into pools directly from the source. No above mentioned infernal steam! You take shower, stay in the pool for a while, and then, if you want, mekise (bath attendant, masseur) arrives to give to your stressed body a proper session of rubbing, scrubbing, cleaning and strong massage. After that your skin becomes very soft and gentle. Then you can go to the pool again – don’t stay inside too long, it is better to do it repeatedly for 5-7 minutes.
However, there were other reasons for visit: communication. All the websites for tourists say that in good old times the bath was a place to share city gossips and news. To me, a visit to a bath is associated with an episode from the book “Ali and Nino” as young man from Azerbaijan was visiting the relatives of his future wife in Tbilisi, he drank too much at supra (feast), and the next morning the relatives took him to the bath. While he was having strong massage and chilling in miraculous smelly water to feel alive again, the other men in the bath had conversations about what was going on in town and even treated themselves with some delicacies. It was described in such a lively manner, that during my second touristic visit to Tbilisi in 2013, I couldn’t resist and headed to Abanotubani, the sulfur baths district. After moving to Tbilisi, I often go there as well. Of course, there are some other places where you can improve your health in sulfuric water – as I wrote once, there is a very cool new bath at Lisi Lake, and on the left bank, around David Aghmashenebeli Avenue, there was something as well. However, I remain faithful to the real heart of Tbilisi, and if I don’t have a proper company for going there and renting a separate room, I go to the public female bath (however, I do pick a time when it’s not crowded). Back to the reasons to visit: yes, people really come there to talk, many of them know each other. But since Tbilisi has grown dramatically, the gossips and rumors than circulate there, are usually about Ortachala and Avlabari districts. Recently I had a group of tourists from Sweden, who were about to experience that hard massage and super influence of sulfuric water for a reasonable non-touristic price. Then I realized that I haven’t completed more or less detailed “market research” during my two years here… Alright, now, after such a long waltzing around the bathhouse topic, I am about to explain you briefly and clearly, where you can experience traditional spa Tbilisi style. Let’s go! Bath #5 Royal Bath / Samepo Located at Grishashvili str. 1, to the left of the monument to falcon and pheasant. This is the bath I went to my very first time. Not the cheapest one, it is open from 8 AM to 11 PM. Room rates: from 65 to 95 GEL, sauna is paid separately and costs 75 lari.
“Gulo’s Bath” Located at Grishashvili str. 3, just above the Royal. One of my favorite in terms of price and quality balance. There are separate rooms for 30, 40, 70, 100, 120 and 200 GEL per hour. Only two people can fit into 30-GEL-room, and there will be no sauna. My Swedish guests took the room for 100 GEL, which had a sauna, a quite spacious pool with sulfuric water, and plenty of space for four people. More expensive rooms can accommodate up to 10 people, there are bigger pools, and sauna is also available. Massage is good good! Towels will cost 2 lari/piece, shampoo and soap – from 1.5 GEL. Tea and Turkish coffee were free of charge, when I was there for the last time, so you get a really oriental treatment. Another plus: opening hours are quite long – from 7 AM to 3 AM. A funny fact: once Sting was in Tbilisi, he was invited to this bath by the concert organizers. He liked it a lot and came again the next day!
“Fantasy” (historical Mirzoyev Bath) Located in the next dead end after “Gulo’s” (if you are going up Grishashvili street), next to “Bohema” restaurant, this bath is supposed to be the first to appear at this district. At least, the archaeologists say so after a decent research. The sulfur water goes to the pools directly from the springs! Many rooms, many price categories: you pay from 30 to 100 GEL (as you already know, the more spacious, the more expensive). Sauna costs 50 GEL. In addition, they offer lots of different types of massage – Thai, Indian, needle, classic, relaxing. The cost of one session is from 20 to 30 GEL. I’ve been to this bath too, and must say that the friendliness of staff conquered my heart. Loved their tea and walnut jam that we had! Massage and scrubbing were long and tough, as it should be (thank you, Zemfira the mekise!). My radiant skin forces to me write: I do recommend the place!
Public bath If you go another ten meters up Grishashvili street, on the right you will see the entrance to the public bath. Sauna is for men only (10 GEL/person), and general price is 5 GEL. Towels and soap cost the same: from 1.5 GEL. As I said, I usually go there, if I don’t have a company. It’s also a very local thing. Be prepared to naked flesh everywhere. “Gogirdis Abano” Located to the left of the bridge that goes along a small river direction waterfall. If you are not very attentive, you can just oversee this small bath, which is called simply “Sulfur bath” the Georgian and promises a royal mood for fifty lari. I find the rooms not that comfortable as in “Fantasy”, “Gulo’s” and Royal. The price is around 50 GEL for a room for 3-5 persons. Towels and soap cost the same.
Gorgasali Bath Located between Tiflis Palace hotel and Bath №5, it has only one, but a very large room, where you can actually fit a big bunch of people. You pay 150 GEL per hour. There is also a sauna. The bath is open 24/7.
The price for masseur/mekise service is the same everywhere: 20 GEL for massage + scrub, or 10 lari for massage or scrub. You need to warn that you want to have this service, as you take the room. He or she is always there ready to come to you, as you are showered and prepared for rapid rejuvenation of your skin. Many bath employees give the cards with phone numbers of the bath, but not all of them always picked up, so I better won’t confuse you with potentially incorrect contacts. Even though going to the bath is quite popular in Tbilisi, I think you still find a vacant room without pre-booking. So, dear friends, I wish you to get real pleasure from Georgian traditional bath, so that you continue your journey full of energy and power! Born in Ukraine, now Tbilisi-based. Love seeing new places. Indian elephants escape circus, go for a snow bath in YekaterinburgRunaway duo blocks traffic in the centre of the city as they splash in the snow.
The animals were taken for an outside walk before getting into their trucks when they decided to break free. Picture: E1 45 year old Carla and 50 year old Roni were due to leave Yekaterinburg yesterday to start a several day long drive to Saint Petersburg. The two elephants are announced as star performers of the Italian Circus show due to be hosted at Bolshoi State Saint Petersburg circus. The animals were taken for an outside walk before getting into their trucks when they decided to break free. ‘The elephants have their own character and emotions, they are very smart. ‘They walked outside and got very happy from seeing the snow, the trees and the pedestrians whom they took for spectators. Roni stayed by one of the trees while Carla walked towards a pile of snow’, said Yekaterinburg circus in a statement via social media.
The giant animals were filmed rolling in the snow and ignoring handlers’ attempts to get them back. They didn’t seem to mind -5C air – mild for this time of year – and took their time snow bathing. The 8 Marta street had to be blocked for traffic while work at most of nearby offices went on standby as people rushed outside to watch and film the playful giants. The two elephats must be the world record breakers as the longest travelling elephants. The Siberian Times wrote about them being taken on a gruelling 16,000km (9,950 mile) journey earlier this year in order to perform in every major city along the route. The circus which belongs to the Togni family described itself as the oldest circus dynasty in Italy. In several cities, namely Yakutsk, resident demanded to ban the circus complaining about animal cruelly.
The Togni’s Russian and Italian artists dismissed the claim. The show’s art director and host Sergey Bondarchuk said: ‘We love our animals a lot, they are our family. ‘They too love the circus, they get bored without work. Our animals will live and die with us, they won’t survive in the wild.’ Italy banned animals circuses in Autumn 2017, which might explain why the Togni circus decided to embark on this astonishingly long journey around Russia.
