Its Monday, we must be Hungary

Lots of rain overnight saw us greeted with a cold, grey old day with light rain. Our local spies say tomorrow is likely to follow suit.

Well we got a 4am SMS to say the morning briefing was cancelled. And when the 9:30am SMS came through Team's Gibbs and TongueKiss decided to take a day off and go visit Hungary. Via a castle and Slovenia, as one does.

So after a couple of hours looking at witch-killing gear, crusade armour, flopsy-eared rabbits and great scenery we shot over to the dark side, so to speak. Slovenia and Hungary are both bleak places by comparison to Austria. Far less people, darker coloured clothes, run down buildings, russian era farm machinery, and the odd ex-military establishment.

We did get a great meal at a local pub even if we couldn't work out what we were getting or how much it would cost. Based on Deano's purchase of a keyring in euros and his change in something else we thought lunch with beers was about $2 each. Turns out Deano's keyring came with a $50 tip. Great for Deano but lunch was actually $12.

So after a visit to a couple of grocery shops we made our way home where Lin is preparing a Tuna Bake for dinner.

Tomorrow we hope to fly, and trust the organisers can get their internet working, target list finished, and not schedule clashes with any more airshows.
