Balaton and Pécs Trip: Day 2 (Hévíz and Keszthely)

Jannick knows a lot about about bikes and this morning we were able to fix Elin’s bike tire. It has kind of weird road bike-like tires and it turns out that you are don’t take the tread off when replace the inner-tube.


Hévíz

Jannick and Tiffany brought bikes with them (they are planning on riding back part of the route we took down to Keszthely later today) so we all rode together to Hévíz, a thermal lake a couple of miles out of Keszthely. Hévíz was pretty cool. The lake isn’t hot but the water is comfortably warm. It did smell a little weird but I don’t think that it was because of being unclean or anything. Supposed the water is totally replaced every by the natural springs every 85 hours. Hévíz is also supposed to have medicinal benefits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hévíz_Spa




Back in Keszthely we picnicked again near Balaton.



Tiffany and Jannick had to leave to start biking so Elin, Sarah and I went and hung out down by the lake until our train left at 5.





Train to Pécs

The train ride to Pécs was really pretty.




Pécs



We got into Pécs around 10 and went to the hostel which was on one of the main streets (Kíraly Utca). It was a very fun and happening area with a lot of outdoor restaurants. Since it was kind of late we just went to get some food, took some pictures and then went back to the hostel.
