Day 11, Siofok

Today we woke up pretty early than the norm to get down to the beach and rent our sailboats. When we got down to the beach it was a good half-hour wait to get our boats. After we bought a days worth of time, the instructor in the back gave us some very useful tips on using the boats like not to tip them over by steering them to far to the left or right and not to hit each other for the fear of smashing the boats. When we got to the actual sailing part it was a blast. We were out on the beach from 11 to 6. We had so much fun we skipped lunch which, in Hungary, is probably the biggest meal of the day. To race we had to go half-way out into the lake. We raced to the other side of the lake and back. On the way we saw so many other people racing so we think its a pretty popular thing on the lake. We even got into a race with some natives that spoke a bit of English so we could talk. That night we hooked up with the people we raced and ate dinner at a boardwalk cafe. They were pretty nice people and we had a good time with them, so I guess you could call today the best day.
