Punctuation is for people with time

(So Dad finally got in contact with me [23/04], and this is the message verbatim; "Hard day in Austria trying to get into Hungary and Budapest May have to give up and camp will send blogs when I have internet access just rushing through service station tough day with a hangover from party that went on till 4:30am" )

Wednesday 23/07

Today with Ko Lee, Mike, Geoff and two lads, a Met policeman and a Chef in a mini scamp, and I were heading off on the A-road route to Budapest, The first part was easy running through lovely Czech countryside, then we reached the flat plains of Austria and rode down past Vienna.

 

We started the morning about 10am and rode for about 9 hours before we decided to camp by the Danube, about an hour away from Budapest.
As we had our very own chefs (as Mike is also one), we bought food in a supermarket and cooked on a camp fire by the river - excellent food and cheap enough that for 6 people and including beer it was just 10 Euros in Hungary!
Sadly this place is so cheap because everywhere you look is derelict industry.
