Today we packed up and left the Hilton after a more simple breakfast. (Cornflakes in our room out of plastic bowls). We then started the drive to Bekescsaba, where we will be staying with Paul's cousin Locsi and his wife Bebe and their children Locsi jnr and Timi. When we were about two hours away from our destination, Marilyn suggested that we should give them a call, just as a courtesy, so that they know what time we would be arriving. It was a good job that we did, because somehow our expected arrival date was confused and they were not expecting us until the following day. After getting over the initial shock, the necessary arrangements were made and they were ready for arrival. If Locsi hadn't told us we wouldn't have even known there was a problem. We arrived in Bekescsaba and unpacked the car. After a short chat with Locsi we drove into town to see where Locsi works. He is an ambulance driver, so we were able to see his ambulance and the station where he works. With a little bit of English, a little bit of Hungarian and the use of a language dictionary we were able to communicate surprisingly well. After the ambulance station we picked up Bebe, did a little grocery shopping and had a look around the shops. When we returned home, Josh and Daniel were very happy to discover that Locsi jnr has an Xbox 360, so they spent a couple of hours playing FIFA '11
