The Beautiful Margret Island

Margret Island is an island in the middle of the Danube River right in between Buda and Pest, the two cities which make up Budapest.
Margret Island is the Mecca of Water Polo.
There are the most beautiful stadiums here, with probably around 15 Olympic-sized pools.
And it is completely outdoors, which is very harsh during the winters because it is very cold here in Budapest.
Yesterday I had some games there and it was about 6 degrees Celsius and raining. So it was very cold.
But we beat the team we were playing, so it was worth putting up with a little cold weather.
