Mittwoch 🇦🇹

Our revels have continued today. We went to buy some goods in the shopping mall after devouring breakfast, which was phenomenal. We spent two hours there and even visited IKEA, but eventually came out empty-handed. After returning to the hotel unpacking the goods, and shaving my derelict face, we jumped in the car and drove to the "Hundertwasser Haus" and the "Freud Museum" in Vienna. The Hundertwasser Haus was different from what I'd expected. Naturally, it was interesting and unusual, but I didn't feel any cathartic sensation seeing the building. I enjoyed the little shops and the "Flea Market", though. Continuing our visit to the city, we went to the Freud Museum, which was an exciting experience. Being there reminded us of certain parts of Budapest, particularly the fifth and sixth districts, which have similar style edifices. The museum wasn't too busy, but the visitors often seemed to have forgotten their best manners at home. Their demeanour was anything but great. Anyway, after coming out of the museum, we went to grab some food. Akakiko was the best choice for us to have lunch. The food there was delicious. We then went to have a coffee at Aida, immersed ourselves in the hustle and bustle of the city, and walked our feet flat. At 4 p.m., we jumped in the car a drove back to the hotel, which was a perfect decision as grey clouds were gathering above the city. As soon as we returned to the hotel, it began to rain.

We collected 13.000 steps today, and we were on our feet all day. We are knackered, but this exhaustion is sweet, as this is the first time we had a calm and relaxing holiday. I wish we could spend one more month here...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach.  After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
