We were up early this morning because our tour was in the morning.
After breakfast we went to our assigned bus #44B. Our guide had a lot of
information to impart, so much so that it was almost overwhelming and with the Hungarian
accent, I missed a lot of information, there was just too much to take in. It
was a 4-hour tour with one hour at the end on our own. Guess what we did with
our time? Yes 3 caches around Saint Matthias church. It was really beautiful
inside with stained glass every where, the columns were all painted with
designs. There was no spot that didn't have some sort of art on it. It would be
very hard to pray in a church like that with so many distractions.

After another delicious meal we decided to walk to the market
which was about 2 miles to buy some paprika. We have done so much walking in
the last few days that my feet are sore.

Peppers anyone?

We decided to skip the welcome toast and relax in our room before
supper. The food on the boat is so good that I'm afraid that in spite of all
the walking that we do I'll be needing a new wardrobe in a bigger size when we
get home.

Today we finally got to meet some Canadians, 6 of them from
Windsor Ontario. And in the evening, we met 2 other Canadian couples, one from
Belleville and the other from Ottawa. Everyone else seems to be American.
