Kisapostag-Baja

 Now armed with 4 Hungarian words, igän (yes), näm (no), kössönöm (thank you) and keräm (please) we leave the idyllic Yachtclub Kisaopstag and head for Baja, 90 km downstream.

Last view of Kisapostag.

The next town from Kisapostag. We could have stayed here for the night, hooked on to the blue boat.

Carl has read about a village nearby which is the paprika capital of Hungary. The helpful tourist office ladies, who spoke excellent English, gave us directions, but we decided that it would take too much time. So instead we enjoyed the sight of colourful paprikas in the vegetable store.

On the main square in Baja. Baja is about 50 km from the boarder to Serbia and Croatia.

At the famous Riverside cafe. Met a local woman who has been living in Ireland for 10 years and was home for a wedding. She gave us some tips about good places to eat.

The Yachtclub in the centre of the town in the background.

The recommended restaurant. Jamshid's last night and even his celebration for the end of Ramadan.

The highly recommended Baja Fish soup, mixed fish. The soup came in one bowl and the fish in another. It was too much. We thought it would be a first course and could hardly eat our main course. In my opinion, the fish soup was nice, but overrated.
