| Doooby in a coma |
Yesterday after receiving the great news about the flat, we
decided that we are going to spend our weekend relaxing and experience the
Northern part of the lake in Tihany, where Scott s never been before for a nice
walk and a lunch at a really good Hungarian restaurant. We both know, as soon
as we get to the city all the hard work is going to start and probably this is
our last weekend doing nothing:). Scott, the wannabe Spielberg brought the
camera as well and turned it into a blog adventure part 6 (this is Scott
relaxing…).
So we took the dogs, the sun was unbelievable hot and later
we regretted not taking sun lotion with us. We headed to the train station and
took a stop to Balatonfoldvar, since there is no train stopping yet at Szantod-koroshegy
this time of the year, so we started with a nice 4 km walk down to the
ferry. It was the dogs first time on a
boat and they enjoyed it a lot. Just as we got off we bumped into a Hungarian
restaurant with a really nice outside big pot, cooking amazing soup and a whole pork roasting on a barbeque.
It was quite tempting to try it till we saw the eyes:)…maybe next time!

I told Scott the restaurant was up on the hill, so we have
to walk a bit more to reach it, and
asked him if he wanted to see the famous church of the city after lunch just a 15 minutes walk from there
(it was the quickest no I ever heard of him), but we still made it to the
restaurant. Looking back at the end of
the day, it was the best decision to head back straight after lunch. Once we
arrived at the Csarda, it was weird, but we were the only ones sitting outside
in this beautiful weather, everyone else was inside all suited up.
The dogs were having trouble with the heat, and they settled
themselves straight under the bench. Actually they are quite used to eating
out, since that s what they did in Vienna with us almost everyday. It was our
solution to our boredom:).

We were greeted by an older tiny waitress dressed in
Hungarian traditional outfit, Scott was fascinated by her shoes (a lyukas sarku
klasszikus haha), but she was quick enough to get us a drink , and was very
surprised after we told her that we are planning to have three main courses
after our soups. She suggested we only
order half portions, Scott wasn’t too impressed, but he just has to get used to
the portions and the currency. Before
the food, we had some chilli pepper on the table, and since Scott loves it, I
told him it wasn’t too hot, and he should get a bite to try it. He did. See the
rest on the video:).
The soups were very nice, and that was only the beginning,
all of a sudden our table was filled with multiple dishes served in a nice
way. We decided to just share everything
and tuck in. The portions were still huge, and we choose some very filling
meals anyway. Scott tried the stuffed cabbage, some stew and a pork with bacon
and onions. All of them were delicious and we were full within a couple of
minutes. After one more drink we gathered enough energy to go back to the
ferry, which we were lucky enough to catch in time, but we had no idea what is
ahead of us.

After we walked back another 2 kms it was an urgent matter
we reach the train station asap as the 4 different dishes, the chilli and the
beer kicked in for Scott lol mmmmm Bori I need a toilet…! We arrived at the
smallest train station, where they not only told us that there is no train for
another 2hrs, but it took waaaay to long for her to hand over the toilet keys
for Scott, who had a hard time by then to walk properly. Lets just say the situation ended well.
After seeing Scott in a better mood, I had to turn him down
a little bit by telling him the bad news, not only there is no train going from
this station for about 3hrs but we are not going to make it to the other
station in time to reach the next train in 10 minutes. We both knew this can only mean one
thing…walk all the way back to Balatonszarszo, looking at the poor dogs, we
even had to pick Ruby up and spill some water over her to bring her back to
life. We do forget sometimes how small
her legs are. It would be hard to
describe the next two hours and it is all a bit blurry, but we did get home
somehow. Scott got sunburnt on the way and the dogs are sleeping for 4hrs now
since we got home, only woke up once to eat and drag them selves out to the
garden to go toilet…poor babies:).
As you can see, this our way of relaxing!
At the end of the day it was an amazing day out, nice
weather good food and we even made a good Blog Adventure video out of it:
