South from Budapest we followed the Danube down into the Great Plain. Hungary was marked by good weather, people feeding us Palinka (fire water) and passing thousands of chilli peppers drying in the sun.
The cycle path is getting to the point where we may have to abandon almost all offroad sections of the Danube cycle route, but we´ve been lucky to have got so far with so little road use. Mosquitos, sand and very loose gravel are conspiring to make all ventures on the "cycle tracks" slow, frustrating and almost dangerous.
Camp sites have been basic where they exist, but happily light on our budget.
The skies have been enormous and the people kind and welcoming, special mention to Tamas for looking after us in Dunafalva, tolerating our terrible German and sending us off with a good bottle of Palinka to speed our route.
