Impressions through the heat haze

Saturday was a hot one somewhere in the high twenties in the shade, well over thirty in the sun. The view through the heat haze above a Kürtöskalács grill / oven. These are basically a large barbeque grill with a mechanical device to rotation the chimney mold over the charcoal. Standing in front of a 1.5m long barbecue for ten hours is tough work.

Last Saturday we spent some time down at the beach side next to Balaton. It’s cool now and almost empty although the Siofok Marathon had attracted more visitors than we normally seem to see this time of year.

The morning and evening temperatures are in the minus now but most days the sun still shines and the dry cold here is really quite nice.

Easter is a serious business here, shops closed and the centre of Siófok was filled with stalls, a marquee and stage setup outside the Kulture Centrum.
