Driving along the lake Balaton we saw the brown road sign " Tihany ". With zero info, we drove up to find an interesting village which happened to be a touristic one to our surprised. Parking seemed not easy to find and finally we found one along the village main road. It was a pay parking. We went up following the direction to a baroque Abbey Church. Wow what an idyllic setting. Calendar-inspired views. One can make a pleasant walk in a well-paved pathways. In the Visitor Center, one can buy a ticket for a guided tour + a short film about the Abbey. I recommend this. Friar Richard guided us. A group of tourist had an spontaneous " choir concert ". Around the Abbey is a Guest House that opens whole year round. There is a pastry shop where you can have breakfast or hot meals. It has a terrace overlooking the placid, serene Balaton Lake. Beautiful. When in Balaton Lake, come to this village and be filled with spirituality too. Had a short stay but very meaningful. The Peace of God !

We take a tour at the zoo on the way home from our honeymoon. I was here with my previous boyfriend in 2007 and since then almost everything has changed, but in a good way. We received a map and a program card with feeding times with the ticket and bought 2 portion of zoo food (only for ungulates!). Some parts of the zoo is under constraction, so we couldn't see everything, but it was a really nice trip. One of the kapibaras lay next to the fence so we could pet him/her, but it's a secret ;) The goats and lamas are really unashamed and made a pig of themselfs by tossing each other away. The wildlife part of the zoo is really nice and big, separated into different zones, one is for savannah animals, one is for camels, monkeys and so on and a new thing for me is the dino park. I think it is mostly for the children, it was a big annoying for me to read the given dinosaur was 9 meter long and I could see a 3 meter long something from plastic(?), but it was really realistic.

This Promanade is just simply blissful, in the heart of Balatonfured, right on the lake, surrounded by beautifully manicured parks and amazing flower arrangements everywhere you look. Such a relaxing place I visit it every day when I'm there.

Foreign visitors should be aware that the guided tour is only in Hungarian. (Rumor has it that there’s audio guide in English, but I’m not sure since I’m Hungarian and didn’t need translation). The tour guide was knowledgeable, funny and attentive. The information was neither too much nor too little. The boat ride was fun, the water crystal clear, the path quite adventurous. Not recommended for claustrophobic people. :-)
