Trains Planes and Automobiles

Geez.... I really am in BFH.

In order for us to get out of here, we must catch four separate trains.

Balatonfured to Tapolce
Tapolce to Balatonszntgorgj
Balatonszntgorgj to Nogykanirsa
Nogykanirsa to ?
We are hoping to make it to a border town so we can get to Croatia. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be sleeping in a station tonight.

The lady here at the station has been very helpful even though she does not speak English. She speaks great exaggerated body language. None of these places are in my guide book..... I think they are all simple, real Hungarian towns. I am a little glad I am not by myself.... I do not really want another Usti nad Ladem experience.
I guess this is a good way to see Hungary. It really is a beautiful place. Just a little dirty and backwards.
Had a very pleasant day, walked along the lake side harbor, did a little shopping, fed the ducks and swans. Took pictures of old, funky statues in the park.

So apparently, train tickets are not sold per your destination city. Instead, they are sold by distance. I have one train ticket for four separate trains.... at least that is what I can gather from body language. I am actually just assuming. I hope I am assuming right. Oddly enough, I am not worried about it.

And a state of ease
Finds an adrenaline mind
And I actually enjoy
Flying blind
