【Lake Balaton, Hungary】
坐著沒有冷氣卻有wifi的緩慢火車，被炙熱的40度太陽隔著車頂鐵皮燜烤著，兩個半小時的時間，我從布達佩斯來到了全中歐面積最大的巴拉頓湖畔。
After 2 and half hours being baked in a very slow train that has no AC but wifi under 40 celsius degrees sun, I arrived Lake #Balaton from Budapest, the largest lake in central Europe.
「我只能接待妳到星期四噢，因為我要去Balaton湖邊騎腳踏車然後游泳，妳可以一起來啊。」從青年旅館把我撿回家的F說（雖然後來他騎車摔傷手根本沒去。）
"I could only have you here till Thursday because I am gonna take a bike ride and swim around Lake Balaton. You can join if you want." Said the man who picked me up from the hostel I was staying at (although he didn't even go due to a bike accident.)
「我只有今天可以跟妳見面噢，因為我們全家要開車去克羅埃西亞度假一星期，中間會在Balaton待兩天。」在LA認識、媽媽是匈牙利人的長笛家Gina說。
"I can only meet up with you today because we are taking a road trip to #Croatia and will stop by Balaton for 2 days." Said flutist Gina, who I met in #LA.
「好可惜今天才認識妳，我明天就要走了，要去Balaton。」床位在我隔壁的波蘭男孩說。
"It's such a pity that I didn't meet you sooner. I am leaving tomorrow going to Balaton," The Polish boy who was in the same dorm room told me.
「Balaton很棒喔，雖然我個人比較喜歡海。」賽爾維亞裔的匈牙利小提琴家O說。
"Balaton is great although I personally prefer ocean." My Serbo-Hungarian violinist friend said.
然後在馬其頓Ohrid湖畔認識、正在克羅埃西亞外島航行一星期的瑞典男人也傳了海上的照片給我，「這種天氣就是要泡在水裡啊！」
Then the Swedish man whom I met near Lake Ohrid also sent me a photo of him island hopping in Croatia .. "You should be in water in this kind of weather."
於是，本來是打算直接從Budapest坐巴士到斯洛伐克或是維也納，可是因為從離開Ohrid後已經兩個多星期沒有下水了，在耳根子很軟一直被催眠，又快要被東歐炙陽曬乾的狀態之下，就去了 ... 平靜的水面，湖底是柔軟的沙子襯出一席瑰綠。
So ... originally I planned to take a Bus from Budapest to Slovakia or Vienna, but I haven't been in water for 2 weeks since Ohrid, so I changed my mind after hearing so much about Balaton.
「我們在Budapest認識，他說聽說這裡不錯，我就跟著來了。」丹麥男孩指著旁邊的德國工程師說。
"We met in Budapest. He said he heard good things about Balaton and asked me to join, so I tagged along." The boy from #Denmark pointed at the German engineer right next to him and said.
到底旅行要用哪種方式可以得到更多我不知道，有計畫也行、沒計畫也罷，到後來根本沒有所謂的怎樣比較好，因為永遠都會有不小心就錯過的地方。
"I am not sure which way of traveling could let you get the most out of it. Either planned travel or unplanned ... Since you may always accidently miss out on some places, there's no better way at the end.
