End of day 4. 27th June. Woke up after a good nights sleep as it wasn't so hot. Do date it's been 30 plus everyday. It hits 30 by lunch and doesn't cool down until about 8:00pm. Was the first time I could hear traffic in the background. Every place that I have visited to date are tiny villages. Church, pubs, bakery, and com little IGA type shops. Balints parents (Pityu and Jutka) live in a 2 bedroom flat of the 4th floor of a commission flat type building. It's...

End of day 3. 26th June. We left Zoli and Eto to drive roughly 1.5 hours to Buscu, near the Austrian border. On the way the gps went flat, so we missed a turn and got slightly list.

End of day 2. 25th June. A bit of a relaxing day. Zoli took myself and dad for a bit of a car tour around the 3 villages that make up janossomajor.

End of day 1, 24th June. Hello from the Mother country. After arriving at Vienna airport at 6:30am, I was picked up from the airport by Zoli, mum and dad. Hungary is in the middle of a heat wave, so its hotter than usual for this time of year. A quick drive down the Auto barn, and we arrive in Janossmorja. It does not take long to be dragged around town to see the locals. By 11:30am I have been to 3 pubs, drunk countless cans of beer, and had a couple parli...
