tent bottom new place

i went to a place called "tent bottom new place" (Sátoraljaújhely in hungarian) with tara yesterday. we heard that there was a chairlift or something that we had to go on. we walked around, found the tour inform place, got a map and some info and were on our way.

we took a bus to a roundabout that was said to be near the chairlift. we saw this sign and knew we were close.
we walked some more, tara said it was like a kilometer (she's canadian so that means something to her) and happened upon this sign. so we were headed in the right direction!

we arrived!

and we got on

and ascended into the fog (oh, it was the first foggy day in hungary this year. we were told we would see a great panorama...)

fall was happening all around us. unique as that is to me, i had to snap some shots of it.

pretty pretty

at the top we wanted to get out and look around but there was construction so the guy told us no. we turned around and headed down for the second half of our 38 minute journey.

on the way up and down we were taunted by the bobsled station and the track

we could see people having fun and going faster than we were

since "if you can't beat 'em you should join 'em" we marched our little selves right over there when we got off the (otherwise cool) chairlift. we jumped in a bobsled and were ticking up the track like that!

some guy told us how to use the hand breaks - in hungarian. we smiled and just passed him.

i may have screamed and laughed the whole way down.it was so fun! we could control how fast or slow we went, so it wasn't like anything we had done before in a theme park. there was a photo op at one point and tara reminded me to smile. here's the result:

ummmm, great picture! we really did have that much fun. don't believe me? click below and watch the video!
