Bumps ahead.

Waking up with a bit of a thick head, I quickly found the continental buffet breakfast, with the coffee pot being the first port of call.
Headed out about 10am as only 250 km to do today.


Traffic congestion !

Didn't realise the route over the river was a ferry, and not a bridge... typically, the ferry was the other side..

10.30am now ... OK looks like its a 30 minute wait.

Here she comes.

Plenty of room

Was getting bored ... I know, take a pic.
Was about an hour behind schedule, but no problem,... will just have to get a spurt on ...  or NOT.
The roads were in a terrible state, so I really had to watch the speed.

Bumps ahead ... you are not kidding.

Finally some better tarmac ....

... and with that comes more traffic.
Stopped at a familiar place to pick up some phone charger leads & headphones.

Easy peasy .... the electronic check-out spoke English !

Stopped for a late lunch in Szarvas.

Pretty city.

Then the diuretic effects of the coffee kicked in 30 mins later.


Tonight I was Couch-surfing again, and had been offered a night in Bekes.  My host, Eva, had very thoughtfully gone to the trouble to find GPS co-ordinates for her house .... and if that wasn't enough, even hung a welcome sign on the gate for me.


"Showering".... well that was an outside affair.

Eva had prepared a nice meal too - Goulash, of course
And after a tour round Bekes, a few drinks in some local bars, it was time for the shots !

..... and that's all I can remember !
