Do you have a tent? Feel like hiking around the hungarian countryside?

If you don't get an offer of the loan of a tent they're cheap enough in Tesco. A few of my friends have recently bought some of varying sizes and quality.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too: It's likely to cost you more in time and travel fare to get to Szigetmonostor where we can lend you a tent than buying one new.

Unless you chalk it up as sightseeing, in which case you are welcome, just drop me a PM.

In fact tomorrow we are likely to do a day trip to the "Arts Valley" (HUUUGE one week artsy-folksy festival in Kapolcs), you could even hitch a one way ride and start your tour there.

Hi PDIinHungary,

thank you   I'll definitely keep it in mind.

great pic of your dog - I used to train and walk dogs inSydney and miss them so much

Enjoy your summer!

Dear Szöcske!

thanks for your reply!

Where is Szigetmonostor? It sounds interesting!

Szöcske -what is a PM?

Hello golyo27!

PM stands for Private message.

Harmonie.

Anyone going to the Arts Valley in Kapolcs should not neglect the many unrelated but equally interesting festival and events ongoing in the various villages and areas of the Kali, Tapolca and Pécselyi Basin regions going on not just that week but all summer. They are often local and not well advertised in Budapest, so check local sources upon arrival.

And of course there are always the ever present Lake Balaton and the Balaton Uplands National Park.

Szigetmonostor is a tiny village on the Szentendre island :-)

The trip tomorrow is becoming complicated so I must retract that invitation, but you are welcome to visit us any time and borrow one of our many small and cheap tents :-)

@Harmonie -thank you, obviously I'm quite new to this    -I know 2x Harmonies in Australia! Such a lovely name.

@klsallee -thanks for the tip, i'll keep my eyes and ears open for more info when I'm in the countryside.

@Szöcske -no problem, my parents seem to think that I'm here solely for them, so they keep organising things for me! I guess I only arrived a week ago, I'll give them another a couple of weeks    
If I happen to go near Szentendre, I'll be sure to drop you a line before   enjoy your day today-it is pouring here in Bp!
Ciao,
Anikó
