Hi tomboy,
Our interests are walking, some hiking, some museums, history, talking to people to understand their culture and enjoying native food and drink. We are in our 60's so we're not into the bar scene. I also enjoy local politics.

As tourists, you'd be well advised to stay claer of political discussion with locals. Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Poland are all going through tough time economically, and unless you understand local situations (and speak language fluently), your contribution probably won't be welcomed. When you do get into conversation with locals (many at least understand some English, and with older generations, German), just say how much you are enjoying their beautiful country and friendly people.
