Every Thursday & Saturday is a market day in Nagyatad.
It seems that on Saturdays there’s a big market outside with clothes, sheets & all kinds of things.
Inside the market hall is the usual farmer’s market where locals sell their handywork. Mostly Veggies from the fields & eggs from their chicken.
We went mainly to get some Walnuts. Found them too, but they are all already out of the shell. Anyone knows what’s the deal with that? We bought a big bag anyway.
Along other things (Jogging pants, a Sweater, beans, tomatoes, pickles, eggs, …..)

Anyhow, I took some pictures for you - enjoy :)

First view we got was a beautiful girl in short skirt and High Heels. I had to get a shot :)

A similar good one would have been a quite old and weathered man, bending down over a box with undies for women, holding one in his hands, inspecting it. But I was too chicken ;)

The market seems to be bigger, than I recall it.

I was a “bit” surprised to see a shop for used and new army & hunter stuff

Follow up:

Too bad you can’t see how big these boots were!

Guess what the men were doing while waiting for the women?

Inside, in the big hall, you have the farmer’s market.

Pickles - yummie! We bought two big jars. I hope they are not too hot :D

Und nochmal was zum futtern und trinken ;)

Yes, we call them flea markets or markets too.

How are you enjoying Hungary overall?

Do you get homesick or do you enjoy all the travel?

Mh, this I would call market.
We have flea markets in Germany (and here, sort of) too & we call them the same (Flohmarkt in German).
But they are for used Goods usually / originally. These were mostly new (except for that weird Gas mask stand ;) ) Only in the last few years they started putting more and more of these stands with new crap on our good ol' flea markets :)


Thanks, Mdme Widdle, I enjoy it a lot here. Home is where my heart is fits pretty well in hubby's and my case.
Yes, traveling gets tiresome sometimes, especially the hopping between Germany & Hungary we did in the last two months. But we always have periods of quiet in between ;)
Homesick? Sometimes I miss my beautiful region of birth, the castles (and all the pictures I still want to take from there ;) )
But usually I'm content wherever I am and try to make the Best of it.
Sometimes it doesn't work that great, like in Kuwait or the first year in Korea. But I've learned a lot over the last 5 years :)
(Uh, this is almost worth a blog post, huh?)

Wunderschön.. Erinnert mich gerade sehr an meine Kindheit, die ich im Sommer immer in Szántód am Balaton verbracht habe - da gab es auch immer so einen Markt (und gibt ihn auch noch immer)!
Danke für die Bilder! Darf ich dich verlinken? Ich würd gern öfter bei dir vorbeischaun!:D
Liebe Grüße!
