Saturday 2nd August 2008 – Lillafured, Hungary



The campsite owner had offered us the use of her PC to check on the Internet and told us that we could take as long as we liked. We found the CBE site and that had links to the sites of the motorhome companies that it supplied. Those in turn had list of agents in each of the countries that they operated. We had a number of options – Hungary, Slovakia or Poland but Hobby didn't have any suitably positioned outlets. We eventually found three potential motorhome service providers through other manufacturers' sites, one in Budapest and two near Krakow. None of these were ideal as we hadn't intended to go to Budapest and going to Poland soon would mean rearranging the schedule somewhat. We decided on Budapest because it is only a couple of hours from here, there are campsites very close to the garage and there is a fair amount to see around the city. The latter is quite important as there is likely to be a wait for spare parts. Our hostess (I really must find out her name!) phoned for us but was told that the office was about to close and there were no English speakers there at the moment. She arranged to phone back after 09:00 on Monday when there would be an English speaker.
The rest of the day was spent reading, doing the chores and taking a short walk up beyond the campsite and down into the village.
