Eger, Hungary
Saturday, July 8, 2006
I am in Eger right now. There is a wine festival going on actually so it was the perfect time to go. Eger is known for its wines, in fact, theres a cliff where there are wine tasting places built into the cliffside about twenty minutes from the city. The wine that is very famous here is called Bulls Blood because back when they were defending the city against the Turks, their beards looked stained with Bulls Blood since they were so drunk. Ive been having issues with Capital One and the banks are closed and no one accepts travellers cheques...so Im in a rut right now. But Ill be okay in Vienna (next location) since Ive got Euros already. Eger is a very nice tourist town. Very beautiful.
Addendum: Capital One solved my issues. I have money now! It was just so annoying since the first telephone card ended up dead because no one picked up even though its 24 hr service and it was 3 in the am over there.
