Of course there was also some great events scheduled besides the puzzle rounds. We saw a lot of Budapest and we could also get an impression of the Hungarian countryside. These are some pictures I made during the 6 days I was there. For more (and far better) stories on this part of the trip I would like to bring Zack Butler's and Niels Roest's report under your attention.

This are pictures taken in a market we visited
on the Pest side of Budapest.
See Paul doing everything to get on a picture!
First picture from left to right: Hans, Martijn
(our spiritual guide) and Paul;
Second picture: a part of Paul, Jeroen's back
and an impression of the market.
Paul trying to improve his puzzling after an
unlucky first day.
It was, by the way, very effective.
A view on Pest as seen from the Buda side.
On the left you can see the houses of parliament.

and the famous chain bridge.

Pictures from Opustazser, on the left a few

are taller things than Jeroen.

Although we preferred the bakery, we always
ended up watching the horse show.
Home at last!!!
