Tihany is a small peninsula on the northern side of Lake Balaton, it was a 45min bus ride from Balatonfured... The town centre was extremely provincial, with the exception of some very touristy/souvenir shops there was very little else there...<br><br>We ...

... br> <br><br><br>The lake was immense and the brief swim felt like we were swimming in the sea. <br><br><br> <br> <br>Our first night was a bit of feast, we cooked in our wee cabin, washed down with a load of beers with an entire tub of icecream for second course (washed down with a bottle of sweet Tokaj (local) wie..We befriended a ...

... forced by Frits (the van has a name now!) was not our own for the moment. Martina once again, thanks for the skirts, that was a lovely gift! We shall wear it often!<br><br>Mira and I both realized that some real chill-out time is needed to get connected, together, with the van and the trip. Camping at the waterfront would be the ideal place. So we headed for Balaton lake in Hungaria. Not really taking any time for more sightseeing in Czech, but ...

... a treacherous dirt road for 3 km. It soon turned into mud and was a real mess. <br><br>When we show up at our decided campsite they tell us it's $30 which is insane and 3 times what we've seen elsewhere. To finish our trial filled day we camped in a ditch.<br><br>The worst trial of all was that we wouldn't be able to make church tomorrow in Pecs as we didn't make it anywhere near as far as we needed to.

... The bridge here was built in the thirties and demolished by the retreating Germans in 1944. It's a long bridge and still only crosses the main channel. The town itself has some old bildings but its very noticeable that it's much poorer then Budapest.. The pavements are broken and ramshackle its dusty and the houses are older and needing more repair. Next on the list was to buy lunch at Spa ...

... home brewed beer and hungarian home brewed moonshine! I would defo recommend budapest to anyone. We were then on the train between Budapest and Split (what we thought would be our next stop) when we looked out of the window and saw a huge lake! We now know that the lake is lake Balaton. In the spur of the moment we decided to jump off the train and just camp anywhere we could find. Turns out it was a great move! We found a nice little camp side and ...

... pathway (I don`t recommend for the eldery, because it`s too steep) or take the sightseeing train which leaves from the main street, called Kossuth Lajos utca.<br> The peninsula has two inside lakes as well. Tihany has vineyards, the Balaton area is famous for its wine and lavender.

... van de beheerder, geen idee waarvoor. Als W hem toch maar de 400 ft geeft die volgens de Lonely Planet het entreegeld zou zijn, blijkt dat het eigenlijk een vrijwillige bijdrage is. Als dank moet T absoluut wat in het gastenboek schrijven. Tja, hoe doe je dat nu diplomatiek? God weet, of liever Moeder Maria weet, straks laat de man het nog vertalen... Tactische oplossing is dus noodzakelijk. T schrijft: "zoiets hebben we nog nooit gezien!" en dat is absoluut de waarheid, en ...
