As we saw it
The children of the groups of Mohács had visited the Tropicarium before the Festival started, which had been a great experience for them. The many creatures of the ocean had enthralled us. Hanna and Beni enjoyed a lot that as awarded competitors they could receive their nice gifts on stage. Andor played a chess game with more than 30 moves against Polgár Zsófi. After the game he said that he was very tired, but it would remain a life-long experience for him. The children participated in the bonus collecting games, the face painting and the making of a chessboard from marzipan with great enthusiasm.
