Hungary might be a landlocked country, but we are fortunate enough to own Central Europe\u2019s biggest freshwater lake. Thanks to childhood family vacations, Funzine\u2019s editorial team has plenty of lovely memories to share.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juca<\/h2>\n

When I was a child, I\u2019ve spent the whole summer at Balatonlelle almost every year. To this day, I consider the town my second home; I have tons of memories about a 10-day creative handicraft camp where naturalist, moviemaker and taekwondo workshops were also organized. I started out as a camper, but a few years in I became a youth camp leader which was the coolest thing at that time. As much as I couldn\u2019t wait for it to start, I was thrilled to return home and tell my family about everything.<\/p>\n

S\u00e1ri<\/h2>\n

Whenever I travel to Si\u00f3fok, I am seeking to relive the memories of my first vacation, in 2000. I stayed at Ez\u00fcstpart hotel with many other kids: we had fun playing mini golf, bouncing around inside the giraffe-themed jumping castle, and practising the handstand in the lake. When it got darker outside, we headed to Palace Dance Club\u2019s courtyard where the kids\u2019 party took place. Today, the place looks so different; sometimes I take a walk in the area while listening to Modjo Lady and Dario G\u2019s Sunchyme.<\/p>\n

\u00c9vi<\/h2>\n

For a long time I haven\u2019t experienced the summer side of Lake Balaton, because my family chose to spend the annual holiday there in the winter when I was a child. We stayed at our relatives\u2019 home in Balatonalm\u00e1di, a lovely town with uphill streets perfect for sledding down. So, instead of enjoying the summer sun in a bikini by the lake, we were dressed in warm clothes from head to toe, engaging ourselves with building a snowman with our cousins and taking long walks in the snowy streets.<\/p>\n

The most precious memories I still hold on to are related to vacationing in Balatonaliga, where I keep returning to every year with a group of friends for 15 years. We cook and grill together under the starry sky, play beer pong or board games on the terrace, laugh a lot, while there\u2019s always someone who doesn\u2019t agree with the music the rest of us has chosen. During the day, relaxing by the lake is our favourite activity; we\u2019ve also tried night swimming before, but then guards ran us out of the beach.<\/p>\n

When I found out that we\u2019ll have a whole section for team Funzine\u2019s Balaton experiences, previous team building memories came rushing through my mind. Every September, we conquer F\u00fcred Camping, make a fire, cook paprika potatoes in a huge cauldron, and for the sake of developing team cohesiveness, we play fun games \u2013 you are reading the words of last years\u2019 winner of peasant Activity, regardless of what the others would say \u2013, and do other typical team building activities (aka wine is flowing).<\/p>\n

Filk\u00f3<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve sailed across Lake Balaton with my yellow, ducky boat many times since I was a pup. Splashed around in Fony\u00f3d, visited F\u00f6ldv\u00e1r\u2019s lookout tower. Got on the ferry in Sz\u00e1nt\u00f3d, had fun at Bogl\u00e1r\u2019s dance balls. In Lelle, summer romances had me a blast, rode the bike in Szigliget in the past. I tried l\u00e1ngos in \u00d6rv\u00e9nyes, in Gy\u00f6r\u00f6k I found a bay, discovered the K\u00e1li Basin, and to \u201cLily Garden\u201d, mouth-watering scents showed me the way. Csopak\u2019s panorama is the best, I\u2019ve visited F\u00fcred\u2019s wine fests. Chased swans in Alm\u00e1di, it was fun, but Keszthely\u2019s cultural tour I\u2019ve also done. Tihany and the smell of lavender, Z\u00e1nka\u2019s car get-together, Sz\u00e1rsz\u00f3 and the paddle boat, great picnic in Si\u00f3fok. Memories of P\u00e9csely outings are gold, but V\u00e1szoly is my favourite, it just never gets old.<\/p>\n
