We trundle down from Budapest to a large site at Siófok on Lake Balaton, still in Hungary, which is the largest European lake apparently. It certainly seems to have lots of water in it in any event. It's really nice here when we arrive and the lake is like a mill pond..
..but before we get into that, we meet our tour leaders from ACSI, the Dutch camping organisation. They're really nice people and clearly intend to run a tight ship. The thing is, organising Brits in motorhomes and caravans is like herding cats; let's see how it goes. We chat to fellow travellers who, as always, seem like a good bunch of people and we enjoy a nice welcome meal with wine and All looks good.
We walk to Siófok (5km away) and enjoy the sites and feel of this small lakeside town. We also find time to explore Balatonfűred on the opposite side of the lake which, although clearly a tourist town, has it's own charm. Any thoughts of relaxing by the lakeside are literally blown away by the constant high wind that springs up on the second day - the lake is decidedly choppy, as a stark contrast to the first day.
We now know why the trees lean to the left...
Anyway, enough of that; Serbia tomorrow!
