Hotel Minaret Eger

... typically costs 100ft (~70 cents). If you bring along a container of any sort (old wine bottle, or prefereable something larger like a 20l jerrican), you can fill your wine up by the litre and depending on the wine, you may pay from a couple of $ to maybe $10/litre for the expensive stuff. And although I'm not a huge wine drinker, there were some pretty impressive wines there (particularly the sweet ones of course!)

... we gisteren en vandaag bezocht. Een stad vol contrasten waar ik vast nog een keertje zal komen. De enorm brede Danube met geweldige bruggen en oude gebouwen, prachtige kerken en een indrukwekkend parlementsgebouw in contrast met Leidseplein-achtige pleinen en hippe winkels en cafés. Heb mn looks dus maar even laten aanpassen bij de lokale kapper :-)

Nu staan we op de camping in Eger, de bekende ongaarse wijngaarden. Morgen misschien een klein katertje?

... idea of who is producing what. As I was driving, there was no tasting for me, but I did buy some interesting bottles at one of the toprated producers (Sike Tamas).

We drove back to Budapest, parked the car, got two glasses from the hotel and then took a taxi to Dunapark island. While the sun set over Buda, we were enjoying some wonderful Egri Pinot Noir.

... trip and approximately 1600 miles from home. Turning west we rode through the beautiful Bükk National Park with large stands of tall beech trees and lovely windy roads. It was 25 miles of splendid biker's road, with one corner leading into the next for mile after mile.

As we descended the range toward Eger there were several road crews working on the surface and boundaries of the road. While I hate the way ...

... be there, which was very different from previous visits when I had to put in some serious mileage to see only a few of them for a couple hours.

My aunt surprised us with tickets to a dance performance on Friday evening by a group called Experidance, this was part of the local cultural festival. I figured we couldn't go wrong with dance on a warm summer night - and it was an outdoor venue. Both Rayden and I were excited to see what ...

... what I have seen so far, and seeing all these elderly people pathetically looking at you trying to sell a handful of flowers is pretty hard to take. Inside the hall there are all these fruit and vegetable stands and meat counters. It was odd to see people rearranging the fruit while smoking. At the meat counter people were buying whole pig heads. How do you cook a pig's head? It even had it's eyes open. I went upstairs to grab some lunch and it was a challenge to order something ...

... city was retaken and the turks in the castle were starved out. Tha armies of the Hapsburg Dynasties who had taken over the rest of Hungary finally forced the turks to leave. As can be seen in the fotos, many remnants of the turks are still left in the building designs etc. More about Eger can be found here:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eger,_Hung ary

... before going on a tour of Eger Castle. We paid for a guided tour of the castle and were told it would be in English. They were wrong as we discovered when we entered the first room on the tour and listened to the guide speak in Hungarian patiently waiting for the English version that never came. We asked if the tour was going to be entirely in Hungarian and we were told it was. Luckily there was a school ...

... is the Alamo of Hungary, where Dobo Istvan made a brave stand against the Turks. There are 2 statues in the square commemorating this. One features Dobo Istvan with two villagers (the woman is preparing to pour a pot of boiling water on the invaders). The second is a Hungarian fending off two Turks. It's a little bit of a contrast in feeling from yesterday's friendship memorial. Eger is also home to the northernmost minaret in Europe. It has also had a cross placed on top of it.
