Wednesday - 19th October

We woke up at around 6:00 as usual and got ready for the day. Iza's father drove us to school and there we met the others at 7:30. The Icelanders went to the library and the Hungarian students started their lessons.

While the Hungarians were studying hard, the Icelandic group went with the principal of Kölcsey and the two Hungarian teachers, Katalin and Laci, to the Town Hall to meet the mayor of Zalaegerszeg. The mayor, Gyimesi Endre, told us about Hungary and Zalaegerszeg, and he welcomed us with drinks and gifts. Every student got a bag with lovely things inside and Tjörvi and Hjördís received books about Hungary.

We weren't the only ones who got gifts because we gave Gyimesi Endre a book about Iceland and a bottle of the Icelandic alcohol, Brennivín. There were some journalists there and some people from ZTV, the local TV-station. There were taking so many pictures of us during the meeting that most of us felt like we were famous. ZTV took an interview with Tjörvi, which was broadcasted in the evening.

After that lovely meeting we went back to school. There we ate lunch in the cafeteria. After the lunch the whole group went to 2 museums the Village Museum and the Oil Industry Museum.

Both of the museums were at the same place so we didn't need to walk very much, which was fine. The museums were very interesting, but it was obvious that we were very tired.

At 4 o'clock we returned to school and then the partners went their own ways. We (Iza & Valdís) went to Zala Plaza were we had pizza. Iza's friend, Ramóna joined us there and then at 17:40 we took the bus home to Egervár. Our evening was quiet and we went early to bed. We knew that the upcoming Thursday would be busier.
