Romai at Night

Last Friday a friend and I went cycling at night to Romai part. I normally go early in the morning, but it was really lovely at night. We got a bit re-routed through the Sziget Festival crowds around the Filatorigat HEV stop (which gets its name from an 18th century threat factory at the location), but it was not a real problem. We headed straight for Fellini's (see blog about previous experience) where they had nice cold Belgian Kriek on tap, a friendly begging golden retriever, beach chairs by the water, along with a live brass band playing mellow tunes and a gorgeous orange moon rise over the water. Some enterprising and romantic soul also occsionally released Japanese lanterns on the water.
