Sadly, since the trip had an expiration date, the date has arrived. I'm back to civilization, city, people, cars, stress, noise... And all I can do is tide my room, prepare my things, get a rest... because tomorrow I must go to University. Class started on Monday (and since today is Wednesday), I must prepare for that.
I just hate to think that it will not be until July that I'll be able to sail again on the seas of the unknown.
Thank you very much for reading my Blog!
Hopefully, next summer I'll keep editing it and adding stuff!

'Pipacs Tanya'...
... or 'The place where Marihuana IS weed'.
Finally I get to a real organic farm, unlike Reynold's Apples.
When you see their ideals, then you really understand what 'organic farm' means, and you realize 'Reynold's Apples ain't no organic farm, Bob...!'
They have ship, ducks, chicken, turkey, pigs, a donkey (so sweet...) and geese.
They drink milk from the ship and eggs from ducks and chicken. They get the meat from the pig when they are big enough (all by themselves!).
Jörg makes bread (he buys the rye and the whey) cheese (he showed us the process, involving bacteria, which is amazing), bacon, sausages, etc. with the pig, and so on...
And they grow paprika, cuccini, cucumber, pumpkin, tomatoes, carrots, laurel (for the ship), lettice, potatoes, opium, sunflowers, etc.
I don't need to say that THIS IS organic (unlike at Reynold's, where they spread pesticides on the apples and bought all the food at Tesco's).
99% of what they eat is produced by themselves, so I really ate quite well.
I was supposed to stay there for two weeks, but a better plan came out: I was invited to travel with the circus until I head back to Spain. Obviously I agreed, ought to is a great and unique opportunity of doing that!
Bad news: that marihuana is not for smoking. It has no THC, so if you smoked it it would be just for the taste, and not for the effect.
So then, why is there sooo much growing everywhere? On the roads, on the fields...
The answer came the same moment (and from the same person) that I knew it was not Marihuana. It is a very close sister to Marihuana; the only difference is it doesen't have THC, but from the rest you wouldn't tell. It was planted massively in Hungary many years ago, to make roofs for houses, but since it's a weed, and it's harmless, it hasn't disappeared completely.
Last thing: Pusztaszer is in the so called "Great Plain" that covers most of the south east of Hungary. Milions of years ago it was the bottom of the ocean. Therefore, the ground is mostly sand, like on a beach. Seems incredible how fertile that dry sandy ground is!!
Now I'm in the bus to Budapest, to see my parents, who I have not seen for 2 months...
But let me tell you a joke:
-What's brown and sticky?
-A stick!!
