Tihany

Tihany hemiisland, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful places in Hungary. It is at Lake Balaton. The lake surrounds the hemiisland (of course), and on the island itself there are two small lakes. That is why (unless you are well acquainted with Tihany) you never know, which water you see, and at which point of the hemiisland you are. It has very interesting geology, flora and fauna. And an abbey as well.

Meggyes pite

Meggyes pite (sour cherry pie) is a delicious hungarian pie. Since it is sour cherry season at us, all the housewives run to markets, buy sour cherries, and prepare sour cherry pies. I did the same, it was my first sour cherry pie to bake in my life. It tastes ok., or at least, couple of friends politely have told that to me. :)

Welcome to Hungary!

I made this photo today morning, and I think, it's a perfect welcome photo for you. Imagine: this time you arrive by air to Hungary, Budapest. And look, what you can see for the first sight, during landing with the aeroplane? A layer of nice clouds, what are certainly not similar to clouds above Britain, but maybe they can make you to feel at home.
So welcome to Hungary, Richard!
You can see one of the Buda hills, called János hegy (John's hill) on the photo . On the top of János hegy there is a look-out tower, called Erzsébet kilátó.
