Well, the transformer does not work even with new fuses. Two have blown without any load. So the new transformer is Kaput.
I hope I have enough battery power to complete the blogs.

Today we took a nice walk towards Zalakaros; is a lovely day and the temperature will hit 28 C. It is nice and sunny .
Nancy has no trouble with the 2 km walk; it shows how much she has improved her walking. Actually, I am more tired from the walk.

At lunch or ebed we have our big meal. Lacy and Agi have come as well as Attila. Panna and Bea have gone to Budapest to visit a Zoo and will return too late for the lunch.



We start with lovely chicken soup with a few noodles. It is lovely. Then as tradition, we eat the chicken (tyuk) from which the soup was made. There are two types of sauce; one tomato and the other a wonderful white sauce made with lots of garlic. Following this we had fried food - cutlets and mushrooms with a rice dish containing corn and peas. Both are delicious. Finally we have dessert. The multi-layer cakes and 2 types of retes (touro and mak -cottage cheese and poppy seed). Agi made these and they were baked here.

There was lots to drink -wine, beer or cola. Attila and Agi stuck with cola since they were driving. We had lots of conversations about Canada and life in general. Sometimes my Hungarian was clouded by the wine but we managed very well...some new words were learned on both sides.

Later, Violetta, Szabolcs and the children came over and we again exchanged conversation... more English now. Violetta will be starting to teach school at Agi's school in September. She has an interview for the job this week. She is quite apprehensive since it is her first teaching job. I told her she will do just fine.

It has been a tiring day and we have a light supper and are off to be by 8 pm. Tomorrow will be our last day in Hungary and then we will be off to the airport in Vienna.
Nancy, Gyongyi and me just before leaving Garabonc.
