Two days ago we visited Lake Balaton to pick up my bike, as it was too big to fit in the car a week ago. So we went back. We took the long way home. Took the ferry across the lake and went to Tihany. Ate ice cream at Mom’s favorite place, went to the echo area, and walked around.
We had to return to the rental house at Lake Balaton to pick up my bike. It would not fit in the car with the rest of our stuff. Here I am getting some last minute bike riding in before heading back to Budapest. In the background, you can see on the north side of the lake, the extinct volcano remnants that were last active several million years ago, when the area of present day Hungary was covered by a shallow sea, known as the Pannon Sea. These hills, now covered with grapes for wines, were volcanic islands of that sea.
