Today, we headed to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lake_Balaton\">Lake Balaton<\/a> a couple of hours away from Gy\u0151r. We left early to try and avoid the extreme heat. We didn&#8217;t succeed. It was approximately 40 degrees and the radio was reporting the water temperature at 27 degrees. Mmmmm. After spending a little while roller coasting around at an amusement park on the way we arrived at the lake. We had a chilled-out afternoon there swimming in the deliciously warm water and snoozing. Very nice.<\/p>\n<p>The heat continued into the night and it remained in the high twenties.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/editbythelakelakebelatonhungary_resize1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/editbythelakelakebelatonhungary_resize-small1.jpg\" alt=\"Edit by the lake (Lake Belaton, Hungary) resize\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/edit4lakebelatonhungary_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/edit4lakebelatonhungary_resize-small.jpg\" alt=\"Edit 4 (Lake Belaton, Hungary) resize\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above: Edit beside Lake Balaton.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/boatonthelakelakebelaton_resize1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/boatonthelakelakebelaton_resize-small1.jpg\" alt=\"Boat on the lake (Lake Belaton) resize\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/crisplaysinthefountainlakebelatonhungary_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/crisplaysinthefountainlakebelatonhungary_resize-small.jpg\" alt=\"Cris plays in the fountain (Lake Belaton, Hungary) resize\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above left: A boat on Lake Balaton.
