Last year, Sven and I took a day trip from Budapest to visit Lake Balaton and explore the beautiful Hungarian countryside.
Here are a few photos from the afternoon we spent soaking up the sun on the Tihany Peninsula. This is also the place where we went to pick lavender during their yearly summer “Levendula Fesztival”.
Looking at these photos brings me back to some of my favorite memories. Everything about Tihany was relaxed – the peninsula truly has all of the vibes you would expect from a familiar summer vacation spot – the type that you return to year after year with your family and friends. A place that seems to remain the same while all other places change with the times.
Tihany is small and surrounded by beautiful vibrant blue water. The main village is built on top of the tallest point of the peninsula and little summer homes are nestled into the hills that take you to the water’s edge. We walked the pathway along Lake Balaton which was lined with simple but charming picnic areas and spots for sunbathing. We ate pizza, and ice cream, and peaches throughout the day and then napped in the grass near the lake after an afternoon swim. When the sun began to set, we took the train back to Budapest.
Right now, Sven and I are on a train to France. It’s the beginning of our spring and summer travels and I’m so excited to explore a new country and live on the French countryside for a few weeks. I’ll do my best to keep you all updated throughout our journey. We have a lot of traveling planned in the upcoming months so I need to be blogging “in the moment” so that I don’t end up with a backlog of content! I can’t wait to share our adventures with you guys. <3

Rebecca
