Wednesday 13th August 2008 – Esztergom, Hungary



Another lazy day – they are getting more frequent, I blame it on the heat! Lots of reading and blog writing and a brief walk into the town for supplies and a visit to an Internet Café.
In the evening we walked back to the square to see who was performing in the festival. The walk took us under the Maria Valeria Bridge and it was great to see whole families taking an evening walk on the bridge between the two countries. It seemed quite surreal to be able to stroll so easily across the border. The band were not as good as last night – it was an 'oldies' group, the singer of which, Jane pointed out, bore a slight resemblance to Barry Manalow and obviously also considered himself to be 'God's gift to women'. He wasn't however God's gift as far as we were concerned so we listened to a few numbers and then walked back to Henrietta.
