Hotel Balaton Siofok

Ranek piekny i sloneczny. Pomimo porannego chlodu, dzien jest piekny i robi sie coraz cieplej.<br>Pakujemy graty i po 3 dniach opuszczamy Zadar. Pozegnal nas pieknym i bezwietrznym zachodem slonca.<br>A wiec: w droge !!<br>Zblizamy sie do lancucha osniezonych gor, ktorymi wije sie autostrada. Szczyty przyproszone bialym pudrem. Przekraczamy lancuch gor, na szczescie ...

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 ...

We arrived at Baltonfured by train and with a little help from the locals we found out which bus to catch to reach our campsite. We decided to stay in a cabin, rather than pitch a tent for three days with a strong prediction of rain. We were quite excited by our little cabin, which had a bathroom and kitchen and verandah out the back ...

... the gigantic smell I produce after. She likes garlic, but this is even too much for her. I am banned from eating more of these garlic soups ;-)))<br><br>In Slovakia it is compulsory to have your headlights on during the day, I understood that, but as we drove out of Bratislava to the Hungarian border, I forgot about it and Mira did not turn them on automatically, so at the border we are stopped: police control&#8230;.60 euro fine for no lights ...

... off the busy road and to see some nicer neighborhoods and small towns. Once we left the lake however it was similar to the prior day with some additional trials. A guy yelled at us for standing in the road looking at our map despite the fact it was a deserted small town with wide roads and plenty of room to go around. We also had a group of young guys spit on us. Also our country road at one point turned ...

... 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 ...

I must say that I was somewhat unimpressed by Lake Balaton, although the sight of our elderly, cynical program director stripping down to a speedo for a quick dip was something I won't soon forget. Balaton has a reputation as a huge destination for Hungarians but when we were there the weather was less than ideal and it was pretty much deserted. I think most of the people who voted for the lake regretted their decision.

Tihany is a delightful little town with a beautiful abbey on the coast of the lake Balaton. (Peninsula).<br> There are plenty of litte souvenir shops and restaurants in thatched houses.<br> From the Abbey there is a beautiful view of the Lake. You can walk down to the ferry along ...

... kennelijk niet zo groot is, zeker niet als het er al te cultureel aan toe gaat. Dit is dus echt iets voor ons, vijf minuten max. en weg zijn we weer. Mooi, nu nog even wat boodschappen en het Postkantoor. Dat laatste lukt dus niet. Volgens een plattegrond in het centrum moet het vlakbij de auto zijn. En T weet bovendien dat we er langs zijn gereden. Helaas is dat tegenstrijdig met die kaart. De LP geeft weer een andere locatie aan. Na een half uur geven we het op. De enige locatie die ...
