Our route today was mainly on the flood embankment on the North Slovakia side. The South side is Hungary. So flat, no shade and hot: kept us focused on the next coffee stop. None until near the end.
It’s strange now your can’t understand the signs. Could be back in Wales with a few added squiggles. I thought that when I saw a sign saying “Botel”. Ah I understand mutations. The reality of a boat hotel came as a wee blow. Ah well.
The hotel we’re in has two names, one Slovakian the other Hungarian. As a place on a key river crossing and the confluence of the Vah and Danube, it seems to have been flattened and rebuilt in an endless cycle. The result is a mishmash friendly with it.
Tomorrow Hungary, Farewell Euro, hello Budapest.
