At the end of the main street of this lively little village of sixty, this magical world unfolds before us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>LAKESIDE<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/katicatanya.hu\/en\/jatekaink\/page\/1\/kategoria\/126\/\" target=\"_blank\">on the shore of a small lake<\/a> Pedalos are waiting to take you out on the water, whilst Dad, of course, works up a good sweat! After all, who else could pedal better than him! He\u2019ll have a chance to rest whilst you and your little brother try to reach the sky from the jumping hill. Of course, Mum can\u2019t miss out on all this fun either, and she\u2019s happy to admit that it\u2019s better than a gym session. After a short rest, Dad is immediately swallowed up by the giant maze \u2013 and thoroughly so\u2026 we\u2019ve already got lost on the way here! But that\u2019s what family\u2019s for! We\u2019re all shouting at him from the control point, \u201eTurn left here!\u201d It seems he\u2019s more taken with the suspension bridge, which Mum certainly won\u2019t set foot on! He\u2019ll wave to us from the other side, and we\u2019ll be proud to have taken over the tiny island! We sit down in the grass and admire the herd of cows grazing on the hillside. The idyll is interrupted by a cheerful tune\u2026 \u201dAnimal petting time is about to begin\u201d\u2026 calls a friendly voice.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201eGet across on the handrail!\u201d shouts Mum!<br \/>\nIf we hurry, we\u2019ll definitely make it there\u2026<br \/>\nA lovely lady greeted us in the reception building. When we asked about the activities on offer, she told us there\u2019s a play area and a slide complex with a giant maze, and that we\u2019ll soon be able to burn off our excess energy on the climbing walls too\u2026<br \/>\n\u201eWe\u2019re mainly interested in outdoor activities at the moment, as the weather\u2019s so lovely and I just can\u2019t get enough of the beautiful scenery,\u201d Mum gushed.<\/p>\n<h2>ANIMAL PETTING AND HORSE RIDING<\/h2>\n<p>A soft chime welcomes the <a href=\"http:\/\/katicatanya.hu\/en\/szolgaltatasok\/joszagaink.html\/\" target=\"_blank\">animal lovers<\/a>who would spend the whole day stroking the bunnies and feeding grass to the curious goats. All the signs suggest that our lovely little friends don\u2019t mind the attention either. There\u2019s a great deal of commotion, with the poultry launching into a frantic chase for the odd tasty morsel. Their four-legged companions let us know with a clamour: they don\u2019t want to be left out either!\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201eJust like the Bremen Town Musicians,\u201d laughs Dad!<br \/>\n\u201eLola, the silly little thing doesn\u2019t even mind if you hop onto her back,\u201d she smiles, and before you know it, she\u2019s already reaching under \u00d6csi\u2019s arm\u2026.<br \/>\n\u201eI love riding,\u201d he says, looking around proudly from the back of the donkey.<br \/>\n\u201eThen you\u2019ve come to the right place! The horse-riding programme is about to start, and you\u2019ll be able to show us just how bravely you can ride our steed!\u201d came the reply.<br \/>\n\u201eI\u2019d like to be a real knight, in a huge castle,\u201d \u00d6csi daydreamed.<br \/>\n\u201eRight then, come on, have a look out of here! Can you see that over there, beyond the pasture?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201eA real castle\u201d \u2013 My little brother was so surprised his mouth just dropped open!<br \/>\n\u201eThis programme will have to wait until after lunch,\u201d said Mum, leaving no room for argument.<\/p>\n<h2>RESTAURANT<\/h2>\n<p>Naturally, Dad was immediately worried that this surely wasn\u2019t a proper restaurant! He particularly likes <a href=\"http:\/\/katicatanya.hu\/en\/etkek.html\/\" target=\"_blank\">delicious traditional dishes<\/a>to give it a try.\u00a0<br \/>\nHe could hardly believe his eyes when he spotted the sign on the menu board:\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Zselic Forest Game Stew<\/h2>\n<p>\u201eMum, I don\u2019t like that\u2026\u201d the children said.<br \/>\n\u201eWe\u2019ll choose something from the children\u2019s menu for you \u2013 you\u2019d just end up eating spaghetti anyway!\u201d Mum said reassuringly.<br \/>\n\u201eAnd I\u2019ll have some vegetables baked in a tube, or fried cheese, or cauliflower \u2013 I don\u2019t really know,\u201d she mused at the sight of the vast selection, which she, as a vegetarian, wasn\u2019t used to. She was pleased to see that there weren\u2019t all sorts of fizzy drinks here, so the children would drink the fresh fruit juice without any fuss.\u00a0<br \/>\nAfter a short while, everyone was staring listlessly at their empty plates. They\u2019d thought that if they had lunch on the restaurant\u2019s terrace, this wouldn\u2019t happen, but the fresh air and the delicious food had done their job. The mouth-watering cream dessert would have to be saved for afternoon tea. They all agreed it would be a shame to miss out on it. They\u2019ll rest for a few more minutes whilst Mum and Dad finish their coffee, then they\u2019ll throw themselves back into the adventure and set off for the knight\u2019s castle.<\/p>\n<h2>LOVAGV\u00c1R<\/h2>\n<p>The simple palisade fortress seems to grow larger and larger as they approach\u2026.<br \/>\nThe little brother can\u2019t wait any longer and runs ahead.<br \/>\n\u201eThere are real knights here, come and have a look!\u201d he calls out to the others, who look at him in bewilderment.<br \/>\nBut as you step through the great gate, a truly medieval atmosphere takes hold of everyone. Young people in armour practise jousting and throw spears at targets. It\u2019s Medieval Weekend, as you\u2019ve heard. It\u2019s the sort of event where everyone can take part in a little time travel. You can try on the armour, have a go at archery, and even try your hand at throwing a battle star. Naturally, we have to try everything. Whilst the monk initiates the little ones into the secrets of the Middle Ages, Mum and Dad act out the scene of the princess held captive in the castle tower and her rescuer.<br \/>\n\u201eCome on, the view is wonderful from here,\u201d Mum called to the children.<br \/>\nThey were just standing there, gazing in wonder, when a strange sound broke the idyll:<\/p>\n<h2>COW MILKING<\/h2>\n<p>\u2018Moo, moo, moo\u2026\u2019 \u2013 it went on and on.<br \/>\nThen that familiar tune\u2026 \u201eThe demonstration milking is about to begin at the milking parlour,\u201d they hear.<br \/>\nDad\u2019s always boasting that he used to milk cows at Grandma\u2019s when he was a child; we\u2019ll see about that\u2026<br \/>\nPiros is barking impatiently at the gate, and as soon as it opens, he sets off for the milking parlour. They\u2019re waiting for the contestants; unfortunately, Dad has to take an important phone call, so it\u2019s up to \u00d6csi to prove that he really can milk a cow!\u00a0<br \/>\nIt\u2019s starting to get chilly \u2013 time to head home!\u00a0<br \/>\nThey are slowly making their way to the car park.<br \/>\nFrom the car, Mum keeps glancing back as they drive past the pastures.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201eDon\u2019t you all think we should come back here?\u201d Mum asked.<br \/>\n\u00a0But there was no reply; all he could hear was a faint wheeze\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Katica Tanya pont ilyen!
