Hungária Kupa Day 3

Day 3 and 4 were based on an old chateau (again), but this one had the size of a palace. Not too bad condition, as it was used as a sanatorium for many years, but neglected nowadays. The park round it gave the terrain for this day and the mountain above it for Day 4. Ágika made a mistake again and I had a good run, so my buffer now increased to about 16 minutes overall.

I picked up a cache in the park itself and in the afternoon went to a Schwäbian Party with wine, food, dancing, brass band and a hillside full of cellars. As the presentations were in the nearby town at 7pm we missed some of the festivities, but what we saw was quite interesting. As we couldn't wait until the cellars opened up, en route there we popped into one in another village and bought a fantastic bottle of Tokaji Aszu direct from the vintner. It cost less than half of what it would have been in the shops and I bet it will taste better. At least judging by the bit that I tasted!

In the evening, after the presentation of a yellow jersey for winning, we discovered a really lovely restaurant where Roy could finally fill his belly with cooked food. He is not a happy chappie eating cold for any length of time!
