This afternoon, Daisy's brother in law, Beci, drove us to visit his his parents in their week-end house in the hills near Pecs, the city in Hungary where we are staying in Daisy's parents house.
There we ate "palacsintak", similar to "crêpes" in French (thin pancakes).
Then, Beci's father let me drive for 15 minutes his Trabant, a car that became famous in the western world after the end of the Iron Curtain. We went to a village called Szabolcs and back, in very bad and muddy roads. Driving the Trabant was not unlike driving Citroen "2 chevaux" in the 70's.
I was expecting an original two stroke engine in the Trabant, that was famous for exhausting a lot of smoke. However, it had been replaced by a Volskwagen engine, probably because the original engine was too polluting.
As Daisy says: "You cannot have it all".
