HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY!
Most today was devoted to getting us as far along the river as possible. We had to stop for a couple of hours at the Hungarian border for formalities, but couldn't leave the ship.
The program director, Marek, gave a morning talk about his home country, Slovakia - very interesting [ a small country, he said, but cute - and on most maps of Europe (he had found one where it was missing) ].
In mid-afternoon we stopped for a couple of hours at Kalocsa, were we could walk among the fields, stop at a small souvenir shop or have a few beers at a couple of local spots. Larry walked several kilometers [ 11 round-trip; Jan thought I would miss the 6pm departure ] into town.
At the daily briefing we learned that we will get a full day in Budapest tomorrow.
In the evening, Marek was busy once again relating the story of Vlad the Impaler, aka Dracula. Very funny. Sweet dreams!
