Bridge Festival

We went to the bridge festival this morning. The street leading up to the bridge and the bridge itself was full of people browsing stalls. The vendors were selling anything from animal skins, to wooden toys, to sweets, to pottery and glass works.

We joined the crowds and sampled some of the goods. Nadim and I had bought some pottery mugs in Budapest, but somehow we managed to break the handle of one of them. But today, the same guy was selling his pottery on the bridge so we now have a pair again!

This afternoon we made our way to Oradea in Romania. Our dollar carries us a little further here, so we splurged on one of the nicer hotels. The drive here was beautiful and the roads were unexpectedly good. Romania is off to a great start!
