A Tokaj getaway...

This weekend Ildi and I decided to something a little different, so we booked an InterCity train to head off to Tokaj. For those of you who do not what where or what Tokaj is, it is a small village/town to the North East of Budapest (close to the Slovakia and Ukraine borders), and also happens to be the center of probably the best wine region in Hungary.

As always the trip was logistically and financially well-planned thanks to the talents of Ildi. (And of course the trip went overbudget at the end of it because of the overspending talents of noneother than myself... hehe).

We were picked up from the train station by the hotel as part of the service, as Tokaj doesn't have taxis, and got taken to our hotel, which also serves as a Wellness Centre. The weekend was awesome, with huge meals; an interesting trek to find a winetasting place open on a winter Saturday night (which we found eventually); relaxing times in the pool; jacuzzi and sauna, aromatherapy and muscle relaxing massages; another trek to get to the top of a hill to see the panorama of the area only to end up slipping in mud in the graveyard and not making it to the top; and of course more wine :).

Had an uncanny experience as well during our Sunday lunch, as we were talking about our AIESEC International team, and then we get a phonecall from Amit and Petroula (our former teammates) in Switzerland.

And then it was time to come home, and do what we do every weekend. Watch an episode of Smallville. Go Clark Kent!
