The days were warm and sunny, the temperature was around 25-30 degrees. In the evening it cooled off pretty quickly at times. A little rain, but nothing to dampen the party mood.— This text has been automatically translated into English

Very cold, but I like that. Had strong cold wind. Just dress well and eat good goulash.— This text has been automatically translated into English
