Day 5, Eger

As we drove into Eger we went right into a festival. Apparently we drove right into the knights and dancer contests. This, we discovered, was the 7th day of the festival. Along with the contests went the Eastern Cultures day. On display were many Hungarian products, along with other things from Great Britain, France, and Germany. On that day we drove in around 6:00 pm so we could still watch all the knight contests. Their was jousting, sword fighting, and some were just all out battle to the "death". The quotations around death mean that if you got your opponent into a deathly position where you could kill them in one blow like on the ground or you knock away their weapon too far you win. After we watched that we decided to check in to our hotel, the Senator Hanz Panzio Hotel, then we walked back out to watch the dancing compitetion.
