I have to go a bit backwards and finish off our trip to Slovenia etc.
We visited one of the many natural hot lakes. It was a bit of a drive from where we were staying but the promise of a nice hot pool (think Rotorua) was tempting. We eventually found the place and it was huge! I giant lake with all these senior people and tourists (no kids) floating in the water serenely with rubber rings and noodles. Realising the water was quite deep we back tracked and bought a ring each from a stall cleverly placed by the car park. It was very confusing buying tickets and working out the locker system. But quite efficient. So we excitedly headed towards one of the many entrances into the pool which promised healing and therapeutic properties. The water was way over our heads so we were pleased to have our rubber rings. However, the temperature was more than a little disapointing, proving to be only tepid leaning toward luke warm. Needless to say, we didn't stay the three hours we thought we would. Plus it was weird. A fun travel experience though!

Even this far on, it's the food that stands out in my mind! Funny that. The second night we had in Keszthely (hurrah! I found the fridge magnet with the name on it), we found another empty but cosy restaurant to dine in. I had roast duck on red cabbage etc. It came out on the dinner plate as a WHOLE roast duck sitting on red cabbage. Tell it how it is. It was delicious and I ate the whole thing bone dry. Almost.
