We met in sunny but a bit chilly weather at our brother Predator's mountain estate near Zalaegerszeg. We arrived at our host's property from three directions, with four cars. Of course, the mountain/valley roads of Bozsok gave even google maps a run for their money, despite the fact that we had been here two years ago. After repeated phone calls, everyone arrived, although not until 13.30 instead of 13.00. The estate is still very quiet and pleasant, still well kept and maintained. With the carved table under the terrace already prepared, the entry to the estate began, as is the custom of the mountain, with a tasting of good homemade brandies. Unfortunately, the chronicler was only a spectator to the tasting, where a good variety of plum, quince and grape brandies were tasted by several of the people who arrived with the driver.

The ghost of the mountain watches with wary eyes....

After the tasting, we also visited our brother Predator's treasured hunter's room, where we were treated to a variety of trophies that were special to us. We admired the older and newer trophies of Józsi's passion, exemplarily and stylishly arranged, and listened to some stories. The pictures bear this.

One of the new trophies, a beautiful lynx......

Lupo di Mare made a frenetic display of "respect", as the following picture shows....

After the tour, we had the official closed-loop zaff. during which we had a variety of snacks, crispy crunchies spread with three kinds of cream. The last Golpe de Canon was topped off with Captain Morgan rum, and then we closed the formal part of the zaff. Although a batyus gathering had been planned and everyone brought something in preparation, our brother Predator overrode the previous plans with the goodies you see in the following pictures.

Unfortunately, the chronicler had to leave the scene at this point, meaning there is no documented information on what happened over the next 2-2.5 hours. However, based on the news from the mountain, it is safe to say that the brothers were not ashamed, the boar was gone and the batties had to be brought home. The atmosphere was good, everyone had a great time. Thanks to the host, who once again set a standard of hospitality that may not be reached or surpassed in the future.

The zaff. was a success, we were finally able to meet and enjoy each other in this virus ridden life situation. We have missed this very much, and we trust that the future will be much more predictable and happy in this respect.

P.S. The paradox of how Józsi has time to sail, hunt, ride his motorbike, butcher, wine, manage the mountain estate, is still a mystery we have not yet managed to solve.
