Long drives suck
The worst 350 km in a while.
Driving along bumpy roads in Hungary sometimes suck.
Especially when you have another 600 to go.

Trip to the deer farm
Today we went for the buggy ride to the deer farm.
A beautiful trip.
It is offered now every Sunday and costs 1000 Forint (4 Euro).
If you order it ahead you can combine it with a nice Lunch at the lake.

Bahrain short impressions (2) - July 2007
You know, hubby isn’t much of a sightseeing guy, neither am I. I just do it from time to time, because sightseeing always makes for good pictures.
But there were a few things, I wanted to see. One was the old market and the handicraft market. I will for sure do them when we go next time (end of October) and one was the normal Souq (Bazar). I knew that one would be similar to the ones we have here in Kuwait, but yet it was a bit different. Sort of the same attitude of the shops people, yet friendlier, sort of. Cleaner too. It’s hard to grasp and harder to describe.
Amazing also was the amount of police force there. You saw policemen driving on Motorcycles and you saw them standing at street corners (well, that was close to the Gold market, go figure . The police force in Bahrain is btw. from Pakistan, that’s what the taxi driver told us. Why? Don’t know? No Bahrainis left for that job? More money in the taxi business?
