Balatonföldvár

A rainy day at Lake Balaton has its own silver lining and unique calm. We spend the morning in the dry sanctuary of the Holy Cross Church and Kulipintyó. Midday is perfect for the Shipping History Visitor Center. In the afternoon, we walk under the plane trees of the Kvassay Promenade, ending the day at the harbor and Dove Island as the rain mist covers the water.
