First stop of the day was Eger Castle. We bought tickets but couldnt work out when the English tour was on, or even if there was one! Ticket lady wasnt much help there either.

Now we are ...
We found an Internet Cafe!
... underneath the building; the tour cost 4 Euro each and was spoken in Hungarian. We also had cheat sheets of the English version, thank goodness.
Also visited the Minorite Catholic Church today, and took a coffee break at McDonalds because why not?!
Tuesday morning we took the bus to Aldebro, which is around 25km outside Eger. Mom found an older lady who was cleaning out her garden and asked her where the ...
