Eger

Eger is a town in the East of Hungary. It has alot great of history to it. "I will explain. . . No No time to explain . . . I will sum up." When the turks invaded Hungary the small town castle fortress of Eger filled with two thousand men and women defended against the army of ten thousand turks and won. It was the only town to do so.

It is a small town with thermal baths(which are great), shops, castle, and very nice people. The markets are filled with old women trying you to get you to buy their grapes or other weird jelly like substance.

We also stayed in an old womens apartment in Eger and she gave us all the tourist info we could ever need.

Eger is in huge Wine Country. Their are many vineyards nearby and in the proper town of Eger their are tons of wine cellars which have been carved out of the lime stone hills. We went the the district of the cellars and could go try the wine at each for 100 Forint($0.75) a glass. The best was the Bull's Blood wine of Eger.

Eger was alot of fun and took our pace down a notch form the ever busy city of Budapest.

The next stop was decided about three days before we went. One day we said lets go to Krakow. And we bought a train ticket and thats where you will hear from us next.
