Surprise long weekend

On Friday afternoon Daniel and I discovered that we were being given an extra long weekend. About 70% of the kids at school were sick on Thursday and Friday, so the decision was made that every student (and teacher) would be given Monday and Tuesday off as recovery days - even those who weren't sick. Of course, we were thrilled with the news!

Yesterday we set off on a day trip to Debrecen. According to the GPS it was only going to take us 40 minutes to get there. That seemed a little strange as it's usually a much longer trip, but we figured that the GPS probably knew a shortcut.

And it did.

Too bad the shortcut turned out to be the sheepiest, bumpiest, muddiest dirt road in all of Hungary.

Unfortunately, as soon as we saw it we remembered why the trip to Debrecen usually takes so long. Yes, we had made the exact same mistake at least twice before. D'oh!
