(delayed post, April 29, 2015)

We skipped today’s tour and lunch at Strudel House. We also did not join them at the wine-tasting at the Faust Wine Cellar but we would follow and meet them there to go to our farewell dinner.

We waited outside the hotel for the Hungarian tour guide, to accompany us to Faust.

The shuttle arrived on the dot at 7:00 pm.

I thought the wine cellar would just be in the hotel, that it was one bar at the hotel.

I didn’t expect that it would be a long walk to the wine cellar.

A really long walk. It was like going on a maze. Without our tour guide, I would get scared to go through several doorways.

Para bang naabot na namin ang Earth’s core sa lalim. Parang minahan. The candle lights added to that dungeon feel. It’s really a dungeon. And it’s creepy.

Here they are, our tour mates. They’re tipsy! Some were almost drunk.  Ang sasaya nila,   mga lasing na yata.

Our tour ended this day so a group photo would be good. We missed each other already (OA).

The dozens of candle lights reflected on the wine bottles, wine goblets, crystals, and on our eyes.

It must really be challenging to climb back to the earth’s surface after several drinks.
