The ride was fairly uneventful through fields and reserves but we did see huge amounts of sunflowers along the way whereas the sunflowers in Germany last week were already finished.
Today was Mieke's birthday and she received an unexpected and rather unpleasant gift from Slovakia - grazed knees from a fall as a result of stopping to avoid hitting children on the path...
As we reached the Slovakian border town of Komarno, the rain started pelting down so we stopped at an "Italian" cafe where we partook of pancakes with chocolate (or jam in Stirling's case) and I enjoyed an authentic Italian hot chocolate as good as any I have tasted in Italy - and all for very little euros which was just as well as we will not be spending euros again this trip.
The rain eased and we headed for the bridge which acts as the border between Romania and Hungary. I was disappointed to not see a border sign but here's the bridge.
Edna decided to clean her bottles at camp and we enjoyed a pleasant camp dinner of beef stew and linguini followed by birthday cake. Stirling insisted that I have a celebratory beer which was my first for the trip.
Unfortunately we were camped beside a "motel" where a group of loud giggling teenagers stayed up until the early hours of the morning - not conducive to a good night's sleep.
