After seeing how upset I was yesterday John did a bit of a search and found a couple of cukr\u00e1zdas. Since one was pretty close we decided to go, in our ongoing quest to find the best Dobos Torta in Hungary. Sadly they did not have any, but they did have a very acceptable alternative.

\nIt was very busy with people in and out for cakes and ice cream. Since Maria insisted on sharing my cake I still had room for some ice cream afterward. I had Black Peter (a very dark chocolate) and a lemon. They were delicious.
\n\"P9123250\"<\/a>
\nWe had invited some relatives of Maria, a cousin called Gabi, her husband Pisti and their daughter Bernadett for tea. It was a lovely meal and a nice time was had by all, the only problem was Gabi and Maria were so busy gossiping no one remembered to take any photos.
\nToday we were going to go to Herend and Ajka in search of some porcelain and crystal. But we discovered several places we wanted to visit were closed on Sunday, so we diverted. First we went to Pannonhalma, the monks there, like monks everywhere make some excellent wine and liqeuers, so we bought some.
\nThen we decided to look up some more of Maria’s relatives. Dead ones.
\nShe knew both her parents were born in a village called Kaj\u00e1r. We could not find it on the map but were eventually told it had joined with another village called Kisp\u00e9c and was now called Kaj\u00e1rp\u00e9c. By asking around we found the right cemetary, there were lots of graves with Toth on them (Maria’s mum’s maiden name) and a few with Kocsis on them, (Maria’s dad’s name). I don’t know if any of them were the right ones but Maria seemed happy.
\nWe then moved on to Lov\u00e1szpatona, where she grew up, well partly up, she left when she was 8. Again a visit to the graves, (at least she knew which ones were related to her) and then a drive through the village, with running commentary.
\nThis is where I went to school…<\/p>\n

\"Lovaspotona<\/a>
\nThis is the street I lived on, and Santa always visited that blue house before ours…
\n\"Uttoro<\/a>
\nEtc. etc. She videod all of this and apparently she’s going to put appropriate commentary on it and present Claire with it. (I must remember to warn Claire).
\nTonight we’re seeing some more relatives, H\u00e9di, Kati etc. I’ve met them before. Maria and John might even remember to take photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
