... to walk around a lake, cutting through farmer fields, containing a certain type of cows (I'm sure LP will correct me on the type), vineyards and along the coast to a church with a long walkway containing three crucifixes and the 14 stations of the cross.<br>

... 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 ...

... Mira being more bold then me, asking the why-question and a receipt (they only have receipts for 20), manages to have the fine reduced to 20 euro!!! Well done Mira!<br><br>By nightfall we are where we want to be for now. On a small(er) campground at the lake. Staying here as long as we need to in a way. Reorganizing the van is top priority. It has been camping out in our own house until now, with things not in place. Does not work well and keeps ...

... 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.

... turns out to be pretty low on the salad front but they do sell loose potatoes so I'll stock up. Lunch was followed by an exploration of the town without discovering anything of note. Wandering back to the campsite revealed that next to the empty swimming pool were the said thermal pools. £1.80 later I was in; its rather basic and spartan with about six other elerly / overweight swimmers ...

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.

... 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.

... niet meer geprobeerd hebben is de LP-variant, daar zal het dus wel geweest zijn. En nu, wat nu? Het weer is langzaam slechter geworden, het wordt ook een beetje fris. Donkere wolken pakken zich weer samen. OK, dan maar naar Kecskemét. Weliswaar een takke-camping (LP én ADAC zijn hier duidelijk over) maar we moeten toch wat. Bekijken we morgen K. en dan weer verder. Hopelijk is het weer dan ook weer beter, volgens diverse weer-smsjes moet dat lukken. We eten in een czarda in Szarvas ...
