Our trip to Pecs

Everyone told us that we must see Pecs before we leave Hungary.

We left Kaposvar and followed the Colleges through several small villages to arrive in Pecs the fifth largest city in Hungary. It is close to the Croatia and Serbia borders.

There were a lot more hills than we had imagined.

  

There were also more trees than we imagined.

The road took us right through the heart of towns.

It was so hot it should have been a two ice cream cone day but we settled for one.

There were some great statues ---

throughout the city.

We took a tour of a couple of churches. This is the front door of the Cathedral.

This is the Cathedral, very magnificent.

They are also very ornate!

And always great to see!

This is the Gazi Kasom Mosque.

It too was very beautiful inside.

As we walked down Janos Street we notices thousands of locks hooked to the fence. We found out that Pecs is also a city of romance and couples come from all over to lock in their love for each other. We didn't find this out until we came home so we are going to have to resort to other ways of locking in our love.

We visited the branch house and walked a few more streets and ate ice cream before we told the Colleges goodbye and found our hotel.

We had a very nice room on the top floor so I had to be careful getting in and out of bed on my side to avoid hitting the ceiling. It had air-conditioning which was the best thing ever on a 90 + degree day. We even had our own bathroom, another bonus.

After the best nights sleep we have had in Hungary we had a free breakfast. Three eggs with ham for Steve.

A sandwich with meat, cheese and vegetables plus a yogurt for me.

This was the view from our $38 room.

We agree, everyone should see Pecs.
