Tokaj, Hungary has been the host of the Crescendo Nyari Akademia for the second summer in a row (we were here last year as well). Last year, we had to get used to a new "host location." This meant where to find all the things we needed (and wanted): department stores, ATMs, grocery stores, the best ice cream, the best coffee, bakeries, night-hang-out-places, best place for wine and beer and pizza, and so on.

A new addition to Tokaj this year was the "Little Blue Train." It was a slow, very cute, tourist train that meandered through the town. The town is also on a slow incline - not very steep, but you notice it when you have walked it twice per day.
(Average walking during our stay in Tokaj was about 8 km per day).
It looked like so much fun, so I mentioned to a lot of people that I wanted to take the time to "take the slow train" through the town once.

Experiencing our surroundings, no matter how "local" (or "temporarily local") we are, as new travelers, is always recommended. It brings joy, spontenaeity, and a thrill of "new" to us, even in a situation where we are regular residents, employees, or guests.
