We drove to Germany on Sunday. With a big van full of tools for hubby and his work.
Everything went smooth and yesterday I came back to Hungary.
It was a bit strange to drive a big van and have 6 gears, but in the end it was fun
The van was empty, so I could really kick some speed when I had to. And it was fun to see some drivers being quite surprised
On the Hungarian roads it wasn’t as much fun though. An empty, big van on bumpy roads makes for a weird driving experience. But after a little getting used to it was alright.

I dropped off the van at 3.30 p.m. having the car rental place bitch about me dropping the car off late. Excuse me? I rented that thing until Thursday. Nope, the bitch on the phone said that I was going to call them if that would be the case. Well, not my problem if she doesn’t hear and understand the things right. I wasn’t overly concerned about her bitching. They gave us a car that should have been at the mechanic before and the belt switched.

Picked up the doggies, they were happy little campers to see me. They will miss the food over at the dog pension though, I bet. Porridge in the morning. Rice and chicken in the evening.
King has his sad “nobody loves, me, no snacks and no walks” face on, even after a walk this morning - spoiled brat
I can only recommend this dog pension. Friendly people, a lovely place. Clean Kennels and obviously good food and lots of love
They are located right by the Balaton airport. Very convenient!

Got my lazy butt out of the bed early and we went for a walk.

Not the longest one, but the dogs had fun.
I finally saw the first stags. Heard them “fighting” and walked in their direction (through high, wet grass). But all I could manage was this shot:

Oh well.

On this mornings walk we saw a bunch of deer & pheasants.

JoJo got lost in the forest, I thought she was gone for good, but all off a sudden she was back again.

A pheasant almost gave me a heart attack. While walking through some wild high grass that stupid bird decided to fly up and scream when I was about 2 m away from him. I don’t know who was more scared.

Hubby didn’t come along, we woke up at 3.30 again and he decided to go back to bed at 6. I went for the walk.
It is unreasonably warm here for this time of year. But better than constant rain I guess.

Hope you all will have a great weekend !!

Near where we live in Hungary is a wildlife park.
Lots of space to walk, even the dogs can roam loose.
Some animals in cages to get them fit for the wilderness again.
You pay a small entrance fee and can spend the rest of the day roaming around, picknick or watch birds and whatever else roams around.
Hungary has a lot of deer, so sometimes you are lucky an see a huge one.

We would be there more often, but the little road that goes there is a mud road and depending on the weather you better have a four wheel drive .

On our way to the park, already on the bumpy road, we saw some pheasants in the woods.
Not the greatest picture, but heck…

A goose and a birdie I don’t know (ID anyone?)
