Today we are in Mohács Hungary. It is a little cool this morning around 9 degrees, but clear and sunny with temperature expected to get to 21 degrees.
After breakfast we have a tour starting at 9 am and we are off to a winery! But our first stop is at a mill. This was a mill that was used by the farmers from surrounding areas and even further away. When the communists took over and confiscated everything it fell into disuse and ruin. The current owner bought the property and decided to rebuild it to its original state. He developed a passion for mills and began collecting all different tools and items and built from scratch a large treadmill for grinding. He also has a water wheel mill and a hand driven one among other fascinating implements. He was really passionate about his “hobby”.
We then moved onto the winery called Bock. By now it was 20 degrees and sunny and clear. We first tasted a white wine outside and then entered the cellars while tasting a red wine. As we moved from area to area we were offered different wines. It was a unique way to have a wine tasting and explore the cellars. The last stop was amazing, it was like an underground crypt. Our host tells us that Placido Domingo had sung in here. After that we headed back to the ship and a relaxing afternoon. We have noticed that coughs are starting to make an appearance, some worse than others. We are now taking our masks with us and at the first sign of someone coughing putting them on. Not too much time left now but still do not want to catch anything!
