| View of Budapest |
I spent the May Day holiday week in Budapest, Hungary – partly for business to attend a conference and partly for leisure. I was able to explore Budapest during conference breaks. Everything is within easy walking distance and the weather was sunny and warm so I really enjoyed myself.

| Wine tasting |
On Friday afternoon Marko joined me in Budapest.While strolling through the old part of the city and looking for a place to eat we discovered a Balaton wine festival. We tasted various wines from the Balaton lake region and ended up staying there for the rest of the evening.

| Višegrad |
On Saturday we drove northwest along the Danube river. Our first stop was the town of Višegrad where we visited the ruins of a fortress. We noticed signs that there are many bicycle trails around Hungary and we thought it might be nice to visit the country with a bicycle someday.

| Basilica in Esztergom |
Our next stop was Esztergom, another picturesque town with a huge basilica where we strolled around and had nice views of the Danube and of Slovakia just across the river.
