| After 2 short, partially rained days in the
Slowakia expected us a sunny Hungary also again more routistic infrastructure. In Germany one thinks so many a time, one strongly by the American culture would be infiltrated. But if one comes past into Hungary to all the numerous penny markets, Lidls, Baumaxx, practical man, Rössmann, DMs or Raiffeisen banks relates itself that somehow strongly.
Arrived at Budapest, we were pleased about the hospitality of the Hungary Anton and its family, which offered us for 2 nights accomodation. Anton, Fechter in the Hungarian national team, erzälte us much over Hungary and its characteristics: Hungarian at all no relationship has to other European languages, except to the Finnish one. The moreover many Hungarian minorities in the border areas neighbour states of the Slowakei, Romania and Serbia live. On our quiescent day we did not see so much from Budapest, since it poured all day long. Thus we enjoyed our meeting with Martin, which other cyclist, with which we wanted to drive in the next days together. |

23. May, Tagebucheintrag Mandy: “Mud pig”We wanted to set 20 kilometers behind Cegled with a ferry over a river, but that one unfortunately was out of operation. The sun burned and unpowered picknickten we only times at the river bank. An angler with a portable engine emerged sometime, and Martin had a fixed idea: It wanted with that something beleibten anglers in rubber boots the river to cross. I bit straight into my bread, when the angler the OK for the passage gave. To up-eat young persuaded me in peace to pack the bag while you disappeared to direction bank. And that was also well like that. Because when I saw after them, our tandem already stood on a wackligen wood punt, to tax the grinsende angler and in the boat a few centimeter water. However the slope to the boat down shifted me a light shock, and like young the tandem inside still is me a mystery carried there. But since the tandem was already times in the boat, I kept it firmly so good I could and after all other bags were in the boat began the short however wacklige passage. After a short assistance cry after Martins friend Britta, which wanted to accompany us soon, we reached the muddy bank. From there we carried the bags with the help of the angler in the dry, who rejected our thank donation schmunzelnd. What does one want more? Had their first adventure, the sun laughs young and at a shady Plätzchen gives it for me to well-deserved calming dte after this passage. |
