'Swimming Across Lake Balaton', By Jonathan Knott, British Ambassador To Hungary
- 1 Aug 2013 9:55 AM
- sport
I had a brilliant weekend. I did the Lake Balaton Cross Swim. That’s a 5.2 km swim across the biggest freshwater lake in Central Europe. It was so rewarding and so much fun. The organisers estimate that some 7700 people did the swim in the glorious sunshine. It was a bit more than a fun-swim, given the distance. But the atmosphere before the start and at the finish was carnival – music playing, ...

Xpat Opinion: Hungary No Longer Off The Beaten Path

By Ferenc Kumin: Recalling Hungarian tourism back in 1989, the year of the opening of the iron curtain, it was quite a bit different from what we find today.
