The Hungarian Sea.

Hungary has a sea?? No. :) The country is landlocked. But they have a big lake that they are very fond of. Called Lake Balaton. This the great Hungarian Sea. :) The Hungarians are very proud of this lake. If you ask a Hungarian for a place they should go to in Hungary, they would say Balaton. :D My husband and I were talking about it yesterday.

Took this fact from wiki:

The Zala River provides the largest inflow of water to the lake, and the canalized Sió is the only outflow. With a surface area of 592 km² has a length of 77 km and a width ranging from 4 to 14 km. The lake's surface is 104 m above sea level, and its depth varies up to 12.2 m (mean depth is 3.2 m).

I haven't check out the place yet. Since we just don't have the time to go. My husband had a few weeks holiday the entire year that since we were here, with those weeks he had to settle something. Now that we are 100% settled down. We plan to check it out this summer.

Picture from wikipedia. It does look like a sea doesn't it?

My husband's aunt just bought an apartment there a few months back. Lucky her since it is a very nice place. I bet she would go and sunbathe and swim all summer since she lives quite nearby to the lake.

Coming from a country like Malaysia which is surrounded by sea to a country which is landlocked, needs some get used to. Not because I go to the beach frequently, but this also means that not easy to find salt water fish here that is with a reasonable price tag. Hungarians don't eat fish much anyway. :p

Can't wait till summer comes. :D
