Cycle Touring Hungary – Cycling East Pt6

We cycle toured into Hungary from Slovakia late on a Sunday night after a long hot day of riding through peaceful rolling hills.

Cycling East Part 5 – Slovakia

Slovakia was a country I knew very little about before we visited. We planned nothing regarding the route.

Cycling East part 4 – The Czech Republic

On our last day in Germany the bad weather was back with a vengeance. It was non-stop heavy rain with a low mist and subsequently no views all day.

Cycling East part 3 – East Germany

After more cherry poaching at our campsite we set off along the shores of the giant Edersee lake in central Germany.

Departure day has arrived! It has been a frantic week and a manic Monday. Our ferry leaves at 11.15pm from Harwich and luckily it’s just a 2 hour ride across Suffolk, so thereĀ  isn’t a great rush to leave early!
