• This journey to Hungary was really great. We had
  great fun in the train and even greater with our
  friends in Gyor.
• We arrived at our friends homes on 5th of June in
  the evening. Norbis parents were very hospitable
  and caring.

• At about 12 oclock we arrived at Panonhalma, the
  first catholic church in Hungary. We saw a lot of
  interesting things there. The church had an
  unusual door full of carved animals, such as
  snakes, birds and others. I couldnt resist but
  put my finger in the snakes mouth and nothing
  happened to me I just found myself in hospital
  Im just kidding. After Panonhalma we went to
  McDonalds and had a lunch there at about 5
  oclock. In the evening we went to the Gyor
  Theatre and saw a ballet performance. It was
  really exciting and funny, especially the mens
  dance, which was pretty modern.

• We went to Norbis school to give our
  presentations. The first were Bulgarians, than we
  and Hungary at the end. Hungarian presentations
  were funny and interesting like Bulgarian ones,
  but I think we were closer to Hungarians beacuse
  ours films were more individual.
• After presentations we had a walk in the city and
  than we went with Bori, Kaca and Nevena to the
  park and we had great fun there, talking and
  playing on park toys, just like small children.

• At 830 we were on our way to Balaton lake. Weve
  stopped at Vesprem where another teacher, Babi,
  waited for us. We had a little walk there.
• When we arrived at the main church we had a
  beautiful view of Balaton lake. We put a coin in
  the binoculars to see the lake more closely. It
  was very beautiful. We felt as if we were at the
  seaside. After seeing the church we went to the
  other side of Balaton. On that way we stopped at
  a castle. It was huge and very nice. It had a big
  library and many objects were made of gold. In
  the garden there was a big fountain where I
  dropped my camera. I was desperate, but my
  teacher Mira told me it would be OK when it dried
  up. She was right, but Ive got purple pictures.

• 1040 am. We were allready on our way to
  Budapest. We went across one of many bridges
  which connect Buda and Pesta. We had a
  breathtaking view of the Danube.
• The first destination was the Hungarian
  Parlament, which is a copy of the English one. We
  saw a crown which Hungarian kings used to wear.
  Almost everything was made of gold. There were
  pictures on the walls and statues. It was
  amazing.
• After Parlament we visited another castle and we
  went to a gallery. In the same place we visited a
  church and heard the organs. During our stay we
  visited four churches and in each of them there
  were organs. We took pictures of those
  instruments in every church but I wished to
  listen to them. My wish came true in this church,
  where we could also see a copy of the real crown
  from the Parliament. The church name was the
  Matthias Church.

10th June

• We spent the whole day at Gyor swimming pool. It
  was one of those 7 exciting days where we had
  most of fun. There were indoor and outdoor pools.
  
• The indoor pools had warm water from 28C to 30C,
  a slide which was about 32 m long and a small
  waterfall.
• The outdoor pool had a slide whose lenght was 64
  m and a jacuzzi just like indoors and you could
  go through a small passage from indoor to outdoor
  pools and the other way round.

Saying goodbye

• Everything together was great! We had a lot of
  fun and I wasnt bored at any moment. We had the
  opportunity to practise our English and hear
  other people talking.
• This was another new and good experience to all
  of us and I hope I will see Norbi, Bori and Erik
  again.
