Along the Danube...

After leaving Budapest at midnight we arrived the next morning at 0800 in Kalocsa and Puszta (the Great Plains),  Hungary.  Within the hour and after a fine buffet breakfast, we were off the boat and onto buses for an excursion .

Our tour guide offering us Hungarian made apricot brandy.

Home made bread with drippings, paprika and red onion was the delicacy served with the brandy.

A rodeo of sorts followed.


Horse tricks.

And more impressive abilities being showcased.

A one day old mule with his mother.

We are on the prairies, after all.

After a few hours at the farm we were treated to a beautiful organ recital in this cathedral at Kalocsa.

Having set sail at 12:30 or so, we arrived at the custom control (Mohacs)  three hours later--leaving the European Union into Croatia.
