Exploring Eger & traveling to Budapest

Today the group explored Eger before we hop on the bus and travel to Budapest. We had a busy day planned. After breakfast we spent the morning exploring the old city of Eger. Then we traveled to a local middle school where we had lunch in the school cafeteria before we got a tour of the school and then received a brief lecture on the education system in Hungary. We all hopped on the bus and drove ten minutes to a wine tasting at a local winery. Following the wine tasting, we traveled two hours to Budapest for dinner.
