Day 11-Kalocsa, Hungary
8/27/10

Yet another perfect weather day. We are so lucky…

The stop today in Kalocsa was mostly a rest day for us. The tour group had an optional tour available but we chose not. We wanted a slow day and we got it.

The only thing of note was a paprika processing plant. All of the farms in the area were full of plants. They appeared ripe for picking. I wanted to pick and few to bring home but Jackie stopped me.

Tonight we set sail for Budapest, our final city on the Danube. We should arrive early and get started sight seeing in that big city.

Stay tuned…

We were surprised when we saw this painting in a very small museum in the village. It appears that they could not decide to spell with an 's' or 'z.'
