Our plan for the day involved going down to the small lake inside the lake and renting a boat, just to row around for a while but, despite the sunny weather and light breeze they proclaimed they could not rent a boat to us because of a “level 2 storm warning”. So, disappointed at the turn of events we figured we would head for Heviz and some thermal baths. This turned out to be a dead end as well since we couldn't get back at any good time. So, we had some ice cream for lunch then decided to get on a bus in to Balatonfüred, a town that is practically a big city compared to Tihany.
There we walked along the beach promenade for some time, just looking a cafés and beach life in general. Along the way we bumped into a place that had some more activeties except for the usual beach and café and we stopped by there to let me play around in a sort of obstacle course in the tree tops. Yini, being dressed in a dress decided not to join me. It was fun to climb around and also a bit nervous since it was far down but I had proper safety gear on so it was ok. The best part was the zip lines which were really exhilarating.
After that we found a beach and While Yini was getting ready to go in the water I went out and swam outwards. I soon discovered a series of platforms with benches on and something that looked like a lopsided statue. I swam out to one on the bizarre platforms that had no connection to land what so ever. It just stood there like someone had left it in the wrong place. I climbed up and found that it was rather unstable and covered in bird poo. The lopsided statue was shaped like a lion with a shield and also looked malplaced, like it had been dumped out there. Except for that small collection of odd things the rest of the afternoon was just a some fun in the water.
Later when we had dried off we spent some more time walking around in the town, found a well with some rather bad tasting “healthy” water and a round church. Nice but not spectacular. When we returned to Tihany we found a restuarant and I decided to try some of the famous Hungarian wine, the Tokaji. It was very sweet and I rather liked it but nothing I would drink to food, more of a desert wine or something to drink on its own. Thats it for our last day at Lake Balaton, tomorrow we will head back to Budapest
