To avoid being late, given the tractors and trucks on the roads, we left very early Saturday morning for the ride to Miskolc. On the way, we stopped at a shopping center for lunch, then stopped at the Aggtelek caves and even strolled into Slovakia.
Miskolc is a decently-sized city, but there weren't many people to be found. Our accomodations are in a dorm that seems to eptomize the Soviet style. Old TVs, an old washing machine, all still working apparently, "built to last," Carmen says.

This is our new mascot, Süni the hedgehog. Apparently hedgehogs are pretty popular in Hungary, so our mascot is a hedgehog.
