Flag of Hungary Pecs, Hungary
Sunday, September 2, 2007

Based on information in the Lonely Planet book, we decided to spend a day in Pecs as we made our way to Croatia. According to the Lonely Planet, Pecs is a perfect stop on the way from Hungary to Croatia and all the 'must-see' sights are open on Sunday and closed on Monday...WRONG.

Our day may have been doomed from the start. We began the eraly morning train ride with a minor altercation involving Kenzie, me and a stubborn Hungarian woman who did not believe that our train compartment was full. Okay the train compartment wasn't full but she did not have the reservation that she claimed to have.

We arrived in Pecs in the eraly afternoon opn Sunday to find the tourist information office closed. And, unfortunately all of the 'must-see...open on Sunday from 12-6' sights were also closed.

However it wasn't all bad. Pecs is a beautiful town and we could easily explore the outdoor sights in the afternoon. We had an excellent Italian dinner. The hotel that we stayed at was great and the manager even arranged for us to have a breakfast to go since we had an early morning train to catch.
