Sun on the Danube
As you might have noticed lately I don't write too often in my blog. I have a few reasons - mainly that I don't feel too talkative. There's nothing wrong, it's just a time when I feel better staying in quiet and keeping things for myself. It is a kind of verbal solitude if I can't make the physical one this time. One needs some private space for recharging, and it is like that for me now both in private life and in training. But some of you started asking "whazzup" that I don't write, so here is a quick summary of what I'd been up to recently. However, before that, I must mention a name here: Superdan :) u asked me to put you in my blog, so see ur wish come true :) (btw, I did not forget the T-shirt, I've just been too busy to visit that shop, but will do soon! just keep praying! :))) )
Work in the Summer Uni is getting more and more relaxed, the crazy rush that was on at the beginning has almost completely chilled down. Many students and profs came, many already left; there is one more week left but the five of us already had many happy and hectic experiences, and each of us has some temporary or permanent memories of this year's work - gifts (temporary=chocolate, permanent=jewels, photos, etc) we got from our students and faculty.
Last weekend it was my turn to take a group of about 80 by ship to Szentendre, to the "Jewel of Danube".
We left Budapest at 10,30 am, arrived to Szentendre at 12, then I had let them go around on their own until 4, when we met up again at the ship and came back to Budapest, arriving at 17,30.
The trip was smooth, however once I almost got a heart attack when I saw about 10 people sitting on the very back end of the ship, over the safety parapets. I told them to get into the ship immediately unless they wanted to finish the day by getting chopped up by the propeller of the ship, but some of them pretended deaf, so I pulled out the stict Eva-mama side o my personality - that did the job (no, no bruises left). The rest of the trip was fine and everyone enjoeyd the whole day big time.
Thanks to Bobby, we have some great pictures of the trip, some are here below. Thanks Bobby! :)
