Another Close Call

Back to camping!!
This is a top pick! Woke up about 8.30 and made a quick getaway from the room this morning knowing that we had 70 miles to do if we were going to make it to Timosora (Romania) by tonight. Had breakfast at a cafe in town where we ordered all sorts of random pastries, some ...
City
Today we sorted our washing out for zoli's mum who has offered to do it for us (which is very generous of her due to the type of washing machine and spinner they have). The concept is very old fashion but the actual machine is only about 3 years old, we ...
Beer, Meat, Water ..... with Gas?
... . They even had Ostrich sausages! There's a first for everything, I guess. And then there's the beer - another favourite in Hungary. Beer is extremely cheap for the average traveller with a long neck costing about $1AUD. The variety is amazing including ...
Back to the Motherland - Hungary
Well after a 30-hour commute from Australia I am in Hungary - the crazy old place where I was born. I have always felt a strong connection with the place, yet find it so, so strange. But first a bit about the trip over. Having only done the trip ...

Daytrip to Szeged
Things really shut down in Europe on Sundays and Szeged was no exception. It's particularly bad in smaller towns when you're hungry and everything's closed...we felt like hobos, searching for food, and especially so when we stumbled across a Knorr van ...
I saw nothing :(
I was wrong It took bloody ages to cover what seemed to me to be quite a short distance, and I didn't get into Szeged until 9. This might not have been so bad, had it not been for a very silly mistake. I knew of one place where I could get a bed for ...
A Small World
... other tourists were quite happy to throw in notes of all denominations on top of the 12 euros each they paid to enter the park. Not to harp but it is a very expensive place to live and Hungary is in Eastern Europe where it is supposedly quite ...

Szeged, Hungary - Day 19
... Romania . After exactly an hour when we were only 3 or four vehicles from the checkpoint, we saw we were entering Hungary? So we decided to go into Szeged, just 12ks away. Lucky. What a delightful place and a VAST contrast to the other side of the ...
F is for Fornetti
... ahead of time whether you're going to get something sweet or savoury! I'm not complaining though, as it's all been pretty good! Hungary is also home of paprika (which is where Vitamin C comes from as I learnt today!) and the locals use paprika like ...

With Pictures!
Good morning from sunny Szeged. It's called the sunshine capitol of Hungary, but it is not to be confused with Debrecen, which is also the sunshine capitol of Hungary. I think our last entry was from Florence. From Florence we went to Venice, and ...
HELLLLP!
Currently stuck in a town in Hungary with a friend, 4 flat tires, no phone, no tools and no idea where we are going! oh and its 4O degree!! Cycling has been really hard work so far...maybe i should have listened to all the advice not to come, It has been ...
What to think of Hungary?
... , perhaps we are just not able to get a clear idea of Hungary. That makes couchsurfing all the more important though! Before entering Hungary we we're a bit afraid that the landscape would be boring. We were proven wrong: it's not very spectacular but is ...
Traveling back to safety from Bulgaria
So we counted on about three to four hours wait to cross back and head back as close as possible to the Hungarian border. This is what happened: 8.00am: We arrived at Vidin ferry port. ...
The first day
... in the air, above the clouds but still had some more clouds just above. Then it all became clear. Hungary doesn't get much rain but gets hot sunny summers. Szeged can get 40 degrees in the summer and stay like this. I hope it won't be like this for ...
Weathering the storm
... or perhaps it's the stimulating architecture of its attractive palaces.' To be honest, from this description I'd been expecting a bit more. Szeged is a nice little town, with a fairly attractive pedestrian area with lots of cafes in the centre, but it ...
