According to Hungarian sources, lake Balaton is the largest body of water in central Europe. It is the place that everyone seems to come and not only from Hungary but throughout Europe. There are some lovely spots around the lake. On the north shore there is the town of Tihany where the first record of written hungarian is kept. On the southern shore there is Siofok, a town to let your hair down in. Balatonbery where there is a great naturist campsite and beach, Keszethely where you can visit a rather pretty palace and where I went yesterday: HEVIZ
In all the blurb I had the impression of a quiet little village, whith a volcanic lake in the middle, with spas around where people could relax. Well... I suppose it is a little like that!

Heads in the lake. The water is warm at 38.5°C!

But I followed some signs to the campsite and then a little further only to fine lots of Hungarians in the stream that flows out from the lake. They were swimming and enjoying themselves for free!
and this is the river out of the lake just 300 metres further where you just find the lonely fisherman:
There are some really lovely waterlillies.
There are some really quiet cycle paths in and around the town.
but the town itself is based more on this type of thing.
Life is beauty and all that kind of stuff!!!!
Perhaps that part of life is beauty but there is oh so much more!!!!!
Thought for the day.
