Visiting Angelika

Angelika is a friend of mine from the college. She is a real lady of the world, she has an enviable high life. I respect her because she can make herself at home at any point of the world. She is interested in turism and had a sense of her purpose even in college years and act always resolutely. That’s why she could get a job in an exquisite hotel even before finishing the school and could be promoted and make her way, could work on a river boat (where we had the opportunity to visit her last year in May --> the photos under were taken on that occasion) and could travel a lot. The girl from Slovakia found her couple from Croatia, got married in the U.S. (Las Vegas), bought a new flat in Budapest in these days (the photo of the guys above was taken on the occasion of visiting her new flat on Monday) and is going to fly to Croatia tomorrow. What an international story!
Fanni is another friend from the college who has these two cute little boy.

Masquerade on Valentine’s Day followed by Wellness Weekend in Velence with the hardest Snow of the Season till now

February is not only the month of lovers, but also the month of carnivals, balls, masquerades (and donuts!). I decided to take Dominik amongst children dressed up (as fairy creatures, animals, adults following different business etc…) Not for nothing, the youngest competitor had unexpected success: the puppy with the little verse finished in the first three, won a cake, could choose a toy and was interviewed by the local tv.

Velence Resort and Spa Hotel (****) is a brandnew huge complex at Lake Velence that we tried our greatest satisfaction at a low pre-price last weekend. There is a child-friendly environment for the youngest including a playhouse, toddler’s pool, playground. Masses of water is to recharge with thermal pool and the unique spa center has a water surface of 1000 sqms. The different parts of each pool always entertain you even in an uncalculated situation (rising geysers from the deep, spectacular waterfalls, the lay-by can change into water-massage bed and if you are not enough careful a bucketful water can landed onto your head). Looking out the large pool window (and from our apartman as well) we saw the calm, smooth surface of the lake which was frozen over the morning after.

The eagerly desired snow has arrived! After more unsuccessful tryings, nature presented us with enjoyable quantity of snow. This is how Dominik and Heni enjoyed. He spread his arms out and the snowflakes fall into his face turning heavenwards.
