Of course there was also some great eventsscheduled besides the puzzle rounds. We saw a lot of Budapest and we couldalso get an impression of the Hungarian countryside. These are some picturesI made during the 6 days I was there. For more (and far better) storieson this part of the trip I would like to bring ZackButler's and NielsRoest's report under your attention.
