Gyor to Esztergom

We have been unbelievably lucky with the weather on this trip and today we started in a bit of drizzle, the storms chased us down the Danube, but we stayed dry! It was also much cooler today which was a relief.

The ride was again very flat and fast with some beautiful bike paths, but also a couple of stretches of busy roads. The drivers gave us plenty of room but drove very fast so it was a bit scary. The bike paths by the Danube were definitely a much happier place to ride.

The break stop was next to Babolna National Stud Farm where beautiful horses would usually be the main attraction, but I fell in love with this gorgeous kitten, obviously.

The picnic lunch was next to the Danube necessitating a post-lunch paddle, the stupid suntan lines are now finely developed.

Shortly after lunch we crossed back over the Danube from Slovakia to Hungary again with a great view of Esztergom where we are staying tonight.

The post-ride routine is now firmly established - beer(s), shower, walkies (with the occasional nap squeezed in). Today’s walkies was rather impressive -  Esztergom Basilica is the largest church in Hungary with a spectacular view of the Danube.

Just one more day of riding to go and the tree trunks are still zooming along without too many complaints, my bum will be glad to have a break from the saddle however.
