May 31-
On this Saturday morning Gabor & Edina drove us about an hour south of Budapest to the beautiful Lake Balaton. We had some time on the water and visited Siofok, the town where Gabor spent his early childhood. We also visited another town across the lake & high on the hill that gave us a spectacular view of the whole area.
The lake itself, the largest in Central Europe, sits between lush green land and is a beautiful clear aqua color which lends itself to a more tropical feel rather than a freshwater lake. Apart from the ferry and a few tourist "cruise boats" the lake is motorboat free In land locked Hungary it is affectionately known as the Hungarian Sea. After WWII it was a popular holiday destination allowed for East Germans offering the only opportunity for them to meet up with their family and friends from West Germany.
We were sure glad to share our time at Lake Balaton with friends!!
