On Saturday the whole day was spent at a wedding party. The day started at the bride's home, followed by the official part and the church ceremony. Then it was time for the party which was following Hungarian traditions. We had to leave quite early (1 am) in order to be ready and fresh for the next activity.
The three day trip to Slovakia began on Sunday and we headed to the Slovenský raj where we did some trekking. Most of the route was just usual forest path but there were some interesting climbs with ladders. On the last day we visited Slobody cave with great looking stalagmites and stalactites.
Yesterday we made a day trip to Budapest. I visited my previous work place and I chatted with people. Naturally I played couple rounds of csocsó (table football). Too bad I did not win but I don't blame you, Dani. Before evening we checked out the 'Soul and Body' exhibition at Szépművészeti Múzeum - Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition was pretty good and with our new interest towards photography it was definitely worth a visit.
The last event of the day was the rock opera - István, a király. I have seen the 1983 version and Dóra explained the story while we watched it from TV. Therefore I was able to follow it and it did not become a boring event. The only and usual problem was the loudness of the music. I assume the levels were set for culture consumers closer to 60 years old because the high sounds were disturbingly loud.
Today we have only some shopping to do and then we meet Dóra's relatives. Almost a boring day.
Wedding, trekking and culture
