Now I am travelling again, from Óhíd to Szeged (third biggest city in Hungary, 18km from the Border).
My steps are Óhíd - Kesthely, then a train to Siófok ("capital" of southern Balaton), and then train to Szeged.
Siófok is no more than a tourist city, known to be the place with the most "Saturday night parties" (discos, pubs, etc).
Saturday morning I walked along the beach for like an hour or so towards Szabadifürdö, town where Roxi was supposed to be working in. She wasn't there, so I went back to Siófok (this time by train, instead of walking for 1h 30'!!)
I bought my ticket to Szeged, but the train was at 17.13 (6 hours later), so I got something to eat and, since my iPod battery was almost dead, I decided to get a good deal at McDonald's: 500Forint (1.86€) for an icecream, shelter from the wind for 2 hours and full battery charge!
By the way, there are just 3 McDonald's in all lake Balaton, and more than 35 in Budapest!
It took 4h 30' to get there, and by that time it already was dark...
I had to find a place to spend the night, but Szeged is so big that I just couldn't run to the fields and find shelter there; but near the river Tisza, there was some kind of wild forest, the natural wood that usually grows around the rivers (and the kind of mosquitos that live there, too). Don't need to say that I slept there, now, do I?
Szeged:
Next morning I emailed the farmers, and since they were selling vegetables in an organic market, I joined them on my way to Pustaszer, where the farm "Pipacs Tanya" is (it means Poppy Farm).
On our way there we stopped at Ópusztaszer to visit a small circus that has just three small trailers which are pulled by animals (two horses and an ox).
I thought, as I saw them making fire in order too cook, that that was a peaceful way of life...
