Our last day in Budapest was lazy. Having stayed up the night before we slept till late in the morning, had some lunch and made a short run to the train station to get some tickets. After that we went some famous thermal baths in Pest. The building was a big, grand thing with decorated pillars, high ceilings and a large collection pools and saunas. My favourites were the hot tubs and and section of the big out door pool where they had formed a sort of circullar stream, like a water roller coaster. It was good afternoon relaxing in the baths and we finished the day with dinner in a great place called Paprika.
Today we go up early, packed up our stuff and hopped on a train to lake Balaton. In keeping with the general spirit of things, the train decided to be painfully slow and we arrived in Balatonfured one hour later than scheduled but no matter. We found a bus out to Tihany peninsula, mass of land that nearly cuts central Europe's biggest mass of fresh water in half. Our hotel, although slightly more expensive than a hostel is right in the middle of the village and very nice. We walked around all afternoon, seeing pretty much all the historical sights in the area and also found a pond in the middle of the peninsula – hence the term lake inside a lake. In the light from the sun creeping towards the horizon, the mirror surface of the small stretch of water and the picturesque town in the background was a beautiful sight. All in all a very nice afternoon promenade through the Baltonian landscape.
