Trip to Tihany

by Uroš Čeprnja (11), Croatia

On August 13th ( Monday ) we woke up very early, at 6.00 a. m. All the campers were very tired and sleepy because it was really early, but we were very excited too because it was our first field trip.

House 1 and 2 was going by bus am to Balatonboglar from where we had to take on the boat, House 3 and 4 had to wait because we all couldn’t fit in one bus. The bus was late so, the campers had to hurry because the boat was going in 9.30 am. It was very funny to run to catch the boat. The lake Balaton looks a lot bigger when you are on a boat in the middle of it and feels like you are traveling on the sea. I was very surprised. After we arrived to Tihany we split into teacher-student groups, and we started walking up on the hill witch was really tiring. Tihany is a small town in Hungary. There was a museum on the top of Tihany I weren’t there so I cant describe how is in it. After we got down we waited few hours for boat. We had some good fun in Tihany and I want everyone to go and see for himself, because Tihany is a small beautiful town. And it is famous as well because in Document of Fundation from year 1055 there is the first Hungarian written sentence in ancient Hungarian language: a Feheruau rea meneh hodu utu rea, which means: on the way to Fehervar. Thurch and the monastery of the Abbey are the two most well-known sights of Tihany. King András died in year 1060 and he lies in a crypt on Tihany.

If you come to Tihany you should visit: the Abby, the inner lake, the Puppet Museum and you should stop on the hill to enjoy the beautiful view of the lake Balaton.
