?Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get?. We planned a seven-hour drive for today?s 400 kilometers. Due to the excellently developed highway towards Budapest we reached our goal already after half of the estimated time.

The booked hotel was right in the middle of a red-light-district and furthermore the parking possibilities haven?t been suitable. Therefore we started looking for an alternative, followed by a three-hour long odyssey through the city. All hotels were either sold out or did not have any secured parking space for our 3 Jeeps. It was already 2 a.m. when we finally found a convenient hotel.

The night was accordingly short and the following day featured a full agenda: An excellently well-organized press conference in the German Embassy, film and photo shootings in the historic district ?Burgviertel? (in English ?Castle district?) as well as meetings with journalists let the time fly by. Late in the afternoon we already continued towards Slovakia.
