Eger and around




So Here I am in the north east of Hungary visiting Eger and the surrounds. No, I am not going to visit all the 'caves', one cave is the same as another and the visit in the end always ends up with a tasting and buying!!! Added to which, I am driving and here there is 0% alcohol allowed.

My bike was stolen off the camper a couple of weeks ago and so yesterday I decided to replace it. I don't understand that the income here is Hungary is probably about half of that in France and yet the prices in Decathlon do not reflect that! I feel so much more free with my bike. I'll use it a little more in Budapest too.

The last two weekends Istvan and I have spent on lake Balaton. He is not here this weekend as he has to work. The first weekend at Balaton was bliss, the second marred a little by some homophobic remarks of our DUTCH neighbours - and I thought the Dutch were so accepting!

I'll have to spend some time working out how the photos and things work! The photo of the bike is the new one outside McDonald's where I am writing this. Thank goodness for McDonalds and the free WiFi in France, Austria and Hungary!!

The other photo is of the Elizabeth lookout tower just near Budapest and from which you can have a great view of the city.
