Best Western Hotel Kalvin Debrecen

... passport director here in Uzhgorod. Once we picked that packet up, we headed out. We made it to Uzhgorod, which is basically the Columbus of Karpatsza region, at about 11:30. Zhenia went in and left Pasha and me sitting in the car for an hour entertaining ourselves with Ukrainian AM radio. I never wanted my ipod more in my life. Still better than Lady Gaga. Anyway, to put this passport issue into perspective ...

... shaped rock/hill with wine cellars carved out of them. Each cellar has a little bar area where people can come in and taste the wine. This would be an unbelievable place for a pub crawl for anyone interested. All the cellars are centred around a park the size of half a football field and there must be around 40 different ones there (plus a few restaurants). Everything is sold by the dl (decilitre = 100ml). A 1 dl ...

15:25 chata Erika. Rozlozime si karimatku a vegetime a olovrantujeme.
Slnko pali a odisli aj posledny ludia, co si tu grilovali nieco.
Novozrekonstruovany hotel je prazdy. Okrem straznej sluzby tam nie je
nikto. Skoda toho hotela, aj ked nevieme, ako by sa mohol asi uzivit.

Az sa nam nechce ist prec :)

... was trying to get to the Romanian border and he stamped his staff on the sheep-grazed grass and firmly said Romania.

It appeared that this lush, green, tree-lined ancient road next to the river which had already given me a place to stay and breakfast would now take me to Romania. I trundled south in blissful green, for 30 or so km. The tax police were hanging out at the geogrphical border and re ...

In the end I paid a Ukrainian Vauxall Carlton driver, 5 euro to half shove my bicycle in his boot. Oddly enough it worked like a treat and also being with a Ukrainian meant I wasn't required (as all non Ukrainians are) to bribe the border bullies.

I waved goodbye to my new opportunistic border-crossing associate and cycled off into The Ukraine.

The Ukraine, founding member of the former Soviet block had crumbling ...

... lots of hitchhikers and also drove through lots of towns, which, while interesting, also slows the trip down as the speed limit reduces to 50kph. We finally arrived at Debrecen and luckily our GPS guy found our hotel. We checked in, and after using the internet to book the next two days accommodation, we walked down the road to the Main Place and historical ...

... getting rather warm, some heater in the bathroom seemed to be stuck 'ON' - Mozzies are also about I had read so was bit reluctant to leave open the windows. Went for a walk about the city and grabbbed some nice dinner at some local cafe. Planned to visit the train station in the morning to purchasemy tickets to Bucharest in Romania. That night, we tried to get internet access, we had to pay 15 euros for a day ticket and then could ...

... on site training and ongoing technical support to ensure a complete solution. We can also provide external verification and reanalysis of recordings if required in partnership with Labtech's cardiologists. Our systems are designed for ease of use to provide a reliable and cost effective on site solution for high quality ECG and Blood pressure diagnostic reports which previously were only available from hospital based cardiology systems.

Well we just got back from our excursions to Eger and then further west to Debrecen. The western region of Hungary is called the "great plain" and it was crazy how so much of it could have been country side in the panhandle of Texas! Eger was pivotal in holding back the Ottoman Turks as they conquered and moved westward. Eger was able to hold off the Turks for a bit in 1552 before they were finally defeated in 1596 ...There is still a Turkish Minaret left ...

Zaterdag 26 juli Wakker met een waterig zonnetje, maar dat wordt al snel beter. We hebben een druk programma vandaag. Eerst weer naar Mezökövesd, volgens de Lonely Planet moet daar een wijk zijn met witgekalkte huisjes met rieten daken, waar oude vrouwtjes in het zonnetje de prachtigste borduursels zitten te maken. Bovendien mag je hier en daar naar binnen. Nou.. dat klopt dus niet helemaal. Ook hier heeft een overactieve Hongaarse VVV kennelijk de touwtjes in handen genomen. Er ...
