{Balaton trip} Places of interest 1

As we entered the first room of Festetics Museum {Keszthely, Balaton}, classical sound of piano greeted us. What a delightful feeling, it was! They were not playing for the crowd but were probably practicing for the summer concerts, which the museum organises each week at the garden or at the splendid rooms. I found out about the concert only on the last day when on the way home(!) whilst reading one of those travel brochures :p ..won't miss it the next time!

The museum was formerly a home (palace, actually) to the Festetics family, one of the richest Hungarian aristocratic families.

Take a short tour here, if you wish :-)

Post vacation blues

View Tihany district, the peninsula of the lake.

Hey all! Vacation's over and now back to "work"! Since our trip was within Hungary, allow me to share some photos of our holiday until I shake off the blues, at least ;)

Destination - Lake Balaton, also known as the Hungarian sea. Why the nickname? Well, you may or may not know that Hungary is landlocked; so the place is a gem to the Hungarians as well as to some foreign tourists. The width is so huge that you'd never have the feeling that it's a lake :)

ps. got to catch up on everyone's posts, phew!
