We rolled out of the hotel around 7.15 and headed in the wrong direction thanks to me. I sensed we were heading back to the major highway and we wanted to go the other way and take secondary roads into Croatia. Less traffic is always the best option.
Today's ride took us once again through rural areas of Hungary. We past many villages and some looked like they were deserted. You could have let off a shotgun and no one would have come out and played.
For the best part of the morning ride we had the cover of the overhanging trees and a slight tail wind. We stopped a couple of times for a coffee and to buy more supplies, in particular water as we were going through heaps of it today. I think we might not have had enough water yesterday.
Today we passed through the towns of Baksa, Vajszio, Darany, Dravafok and the border town of Barcs. Barcs was the town we had our lunch. A nice huge hamburger with salad hit the spot. I think I ate too much and I felt it in my stomach for the rest of the day.
Once through the border we intended to ride to the town of Pitomaca but it was decided that we would ride into the Virovitica and see if we could camp for the night. After asking plenty of people, camping was ruled out and we opted to stay at the hotel Sulentic. The room is very tiny and the price is high for what we're getting.
Tonight we'll just chill out at the hotel and then get up early get closer to Zagreb. We intend to have a shorter ride into Zagreb to spend more time looking around on our rest day.
We hope to cover at least 90-100kms tomorrow.
Until tomorrow, safe riding.
