Sorrento Youth Hotel 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 ...

Niewazne, kto wymyslil! Wazne, ze szczesliwie jestesmy na miejscu.<br>Kierujemy sie do Tihany, ktore znajduje sie na malym polwyspie na Balatonem.<br>Kazdy z nas ma jakies wspomnienia z tych miejsc: z blizszego lub dalszego dziecinstwa.<br>Pilotuje Marcin, dzieki ktoremu bezblednie trafiamy do celu.<br>Fajne lokum w wymarlym miasteczku znajdujemy bez trudu... jestesmy jedynymi ...

... 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>

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 ...

... a mess in my (our) heads as well. Also little chores need doing on the van. In between, swimming, chilling and getting into the moment. Each of us for our own reasons.<br><br>One big thing that annoys us both is the fact that the fridge is not working! On electricity it does nothing (well the light is swithed on, but that&#8217;s it). On gas it gets a bit cold, but nothing good enough to save the cheese inside! Maybe this teaches us something ...

(70 miles)<br>Today we got off to a slow start. It was cold and rainy. Our muscles weren't really working. We visited Kethzley the town and found ourselves eating pizza in a warm restaurant where they had internet maybe even before noon. <br><br>Once we got motivated we followed a bike path part way around lake balaton. There were not a lot of opportunities to see the lake from the path but it was nice to ...

It's a sort of accidental spa town. There is a natural spring and baths/swimming pool but its very low key. But the weather was clear and sunny so the washing was done and drying by 11am. Tyre pressures were found to be a bit low too and the mudguard and compass were securely reattached. The town has a Turkish tower; a defensive tower built at this vital crossing to protect against the turks ...

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.

... edges, but the one we stayed in is known as the younger peoples place and the party place. And yes, it was the party place. Almost reminded us a bit like a huge carnival type atmosphere, with loads of drinking, everyone wandering the huge streetz, which is just full of bars, cafes and nightclubs, one lined up after another after another. So plenty of good times had within these bars, loving the cheap Jagermeister!!!
