The lake is surrounded by such cute 'beach' towns. Promenades, cafes, bike riding, and tons of sailing. After, we went to our hostel and got ready for the next event: wine tasting. Hungary has a beautiful and famous wine country, and luckily we got to experience some of it! The winery was hundreds of years old, and we tasted four types of wine fresh out of the barrel. Then we had a feast of kings -- wine, chicken, potatoes, and bread on huge platters at every table. It was delicious and so fun to get to know all the people on the trip.
The next morning was a bit slow.. but we made it to Tofurdo, the largest thermal lake in the world. Apparently, the sulfur-rich water has some type of healing power. People go and soak in the lake for hours at a time to try and rid themselves of ailments. I only went in for a little but the water was pretty warm, about 30-33 Celsius. The weather here is also so great. I wasn't expecting it to be hot, but it's been in the low 80s almost every day, with full sun. It's nice to get a little more sun in before fall and winter descend.
