Hungary

<p>After a short ride in Slovakia on excellent paths and roads we crossed the border into Hungary...more of a deserted weedy car park really. Moved in to a lovely town called Gyor...chic and touristy but very pleasant. Leaving today was less good...difficult to pick up the route, and through dilapidated industrial sites.<br>
That set the flavour for the day...rough sandy tracks, bumpy concrete block cycle paths and a not always easy to follow route. Plenty of busy main roads too with lorries thundering past at full speed, although fortunately all give cyclists a wide berth.The scenary was kind of interesting and a complete contrast to the beauty of France Germany and Austria. I guess that's cycle touring...no just seeing the nice tourist town centres but some reality thrown in too!<br>
Hello to Dave and Genevieve great to hear from you, it would be good to have your email address so we can keep in touch. Re the 700*28 tyres yes I think you'd get by but I'm on 35mm and that feels about right as things are rough at times and the heavy camping gear needs a bit of cushioning.
Tomorrow Budapest.
