A
Hot Summer Journey from Veszprim to Gyor
It
was a very hot day when we took the train from Veszprim to Gyor. We
were in Hungary. And, our short journey north was full of summer
time fun.
Amongst the passengers were hikers,
picnickers, school children on trips, families out for the
day, and regular passengers, too. And, there was noise.
There was the sound of eating and bottles being opened. There was
laughing and singing. And, of course, the screaming of kids
every time the train came to a tunnel. And, the magic of the country
passed us by at very slow speed. And, that was just right.
This
short Hungarian route is unique. It is 80 kilometres of beauty non
stop, and the three hours that it takes are worth every
minute.
And,
there is plenty to see. On its way north, the train passes through
the Bakony. An area of outstanding natural beauty. There
are forests and streams, and the fauna and flora are simply amazing.
A paradise for those who love nature. And, of course there are
towns and villages, too. And, they haven't changed for many long
years.
And,
these are not only places of life as it is now. These are places of
history, too. There are castles, monasteries, churches,
farms, schools, inns, and much more as well. And, all to
be seen from the train. And, this is the sense of the trip. The
journey itself.
So,
next time you have time, why not take it and go down to Hungary and
take the train from Veszprim to Gyor and back again, too. And, by
the way, there is plenty to see and do in both of these places as
well. And, that's how Hungary is. A country full of surprises. And,
perhaps, this little train is the biggest of all.
