Spot 2 – BalatonfoldvarLovely, lovely village by the famous Balaton Lake. Once again, we were 2 privileged ones: besides the amazing company of our hoster Réka (a Hungarian friend who was living in Porto over the past year), we had a nice quiet house about 100 meters from the lake.
We have arrived quite late (around 4am) and absolutely exhausted. So, after a nice shower and light meal, I just literally “fainted” on the bed and slept the first 8 straight hours since Porto. How nice it was! Next morning, well, afternoon, I got fed up with myself. Couldn’t find anything in the car, a lot’s of things started missing… The riot was just getting worse and worse and one thing I’ve learned from my first trip: when on the road, the messier it is, the messier it will get! We needed a fresh start.
So, I took one hour to take everything out and rearrange it on a proper manner. The result? If possible (which is not), I was an even prouder 2cv owner. You should see it: everything fits, still lot’s of spare room, only the basic daily things outside the trunk and, the highlight, I’ve even manage to create my own private cellar on wheels, with all the qualities a proper cellar must have: bottle laying down, protected from any ray of light! This car… And by the way, the passport was in the car after all. So, we are only missing the lugage, which should be on its way.
With the Deuch finally sparkling, time to finally get to know the famous lake. After a nice 5 minutes walk along the peaceful village, at last the Balaton. Amazing! Lot’s and lot’s of people, but still the same peaceful and quiet environment, surrounded by a remarkable view over the hills on the north shore. The only downsize is that you have to walk miles to get some proper deepness. Details, details. After the Balaton experience, time for the local cusine: two delicious traditional dishes (one of them prepared by Réka itself after quite a struggle with the kitchenJ) to complete the day we were exactly in need of to recharge batteries. Niiice!
A huuuge thank you to Réka, the perfect host! Hope we will have the chance to meet again very soon!
