Siofok, Hungary: The Hungarian Version of the Jersey Shore

As a result of our train encounter with the Austrian fellows, Janine and I decided to take a mini-beach vacation in Siofok, which is hailed as Hungary's summer vacation and party capital.  Situated on the edge of a giant lake, the beaches are reasonably nice, the water is cool, and we finally got a break from the heat.  However...it is definitely the Hungarian version of the Jersey Shore!  There are scads of 16-25-year-olds livin' for the night--nothing is open until noon and the giant clubs don't close until 5am.

Our 4:30am wake-up call this morning made us decide to go for cappuccino instead of liquor tonight, but who knows what tomorrow will bring :-)
