As a continuation to my last log, here are some pictures of the wonderful day when I met Natalija in Balatonföldvár
Thanks, Nat and Shadi, for some of the photos!
Tihany, my favourite place in Hungary:

The Lithuanian cake! (Well, the choice of this cake was – believe me or not – totally unintentional! We only found out about the colours after having it on our table
)

The calvary of Tihany:

…and the abbey:

Hungarian king Andrew I (who founded the Tihany abbey) and his wife, Anastasia from Ukraine:

Some traditional houses

A part of old Hungarian folk life: the oven called “búboskemence”

Picking some lemongrass to go with my lavenders I had collected before (Tihany is famous for its lavenders):

The lake:

After taking the ferry and arriving back to Szántód on the southern shore of the lake, Nat decided that we could hitchhike our way back home…

This was already on the shore of Balatonföldvár. You can see such sunsets from the southern side, while those on the northern side get the sunrises

Two of us, while the Iranian guests of my neighbour were also attending our sunset-watching session, talking, laughing and having a good time

Me with the beer and birthday wishes
(as I had my birthday on that very day
)

Black Daemon and Blonde Cyclone. Interesting names for beers…

And as a finish for the day, we went to the centre of Balatonföldvár to sit in a bar (and listen to variable quality karaoke singing
) I have never sung karaoke and I tried to convince my friends to form a choir (I was too afraid or sober to go alone
) but I had no success… maybe next time!
