Bulls blood? Yes please!
... Women. More activity here than yesterday and a few more cellars open. We embarked on a mini cellar crawl around the horseshoe street, getting decilitres of wine to try. More bulls blood was had, and we tried a semi-sweet which was also extremely drinkable. No idea what it was called, or whether it was still bulls blood. Since we were sitting outside the cellars in the cool air, red wine was perfect! We made a decision on which wines tasted ...

Day 4: Hortobagy 101 - Attention!
... barns, where the roof goes nearly to the ground. This style is meant to prevent having the barn get damaged during strong winds.
For lunch, I endulged in the Hortobagy traditional pancakes - they are crepe-like, filled with meat, and covered in sauce. Quite good. I also couldn't resist ordering the strawberry soup with cake ...
