...and Lillafüred

And so we hurried on to Lillafüred, which brought us into a lush area in the hills

parked under a train bridge

 and began exploring the area, a quaint little tourist town where we stopped for a nice lunch on the terrace

and  contemplated taking a ride on the mini train which runs around hither and thither, at no great speed but in a wonderfully relaxing style

 but opted instead to keep walking on, and so came by the inn where for a modest fee one can spend the weekend - and to our children's chagrin, access the playground

but we found our own playgrounds 

and peacefully strolled downhill toward the lake

where we commandeered a rowboat and practiced pulling on its oars, too short to achieve any dangerous speeds

 but a magnificent ride altogether

and were able to ponder the wonders of nature

before tearing ourselves away and on to the next part of our day.
