Balatonkeresztur

We are now at the west end of the largest fresh water lake in Europe, Lake Balaton. We did approximately 86km today and the ride was once again very enjoyable. Marko once again navigated us through an awesome short cut. I believe Joe gave him many compliments in Hungarian and Woody mentioned something about using triangulation but I could have sworn it was strangulation he said. Funny how your hearing plays tricks on you. All kidding aside Bruce is doing a fantastic job and we appreciate the work he puts into it.
We ate lunch along the road but didn't see any fresh water pumps today to help us cool down. It was approximately 38 today. After checking into our hotel we went for a walk down to the lake and Bruce and Joe went for a swim. Woody and I decided to stay on land and watch their belongings. Supper was in the room and we are now all downstairs trying to connect and communicate with the routers (wifi). We want to get an early start tomorrow morning and try to get to the east side of the lake (75km) before it gets too hot.
An interesting thing happened today. While at the hotel we heard thunder all around us, in fact we wondered if it was something else because there wasn't a cloud in the sky. In the end it definitely was thunder.

We are all confused because the tv reception is very snowy.
