Today, we had a relaxing morning. After breakfast, David, the Program Director presented everyone with disembarkation information. Good to know so we could be prepared to leave the ship and move to our hotel Wednesday.

Assumption Cathedral in Kalocsa. Beautiful church. Eva told has they have services every day as well as a school (her daughter goes there) The magnificent pipe organ boasting some 4,500 pipes in this rural church, first built in the 11th century and last renovated in the classical baroque style of the 18th century. The bishop’s house next door is said to have a copy of the original Luther bible. We also learned that Kalocsa is said to be the Paprika capital of the world.

Pustza, Hungray

After our wonderful experience in Kalocsa, we went to the Hungarian Horse Show on a nearby ranch.

Magyar cowboys demonstrate their equestrian skills in the show as well as show off their horses.
