EXPEDITIA BIKE EUROPA 2014 - EPISODUL 20 - THE STUNNING HUNGARY

This church has indeed a stunning architecture.

From Csavoly I have to cycle more then 50km on a busy road full of trucks. But after this horrible experience, not far from Morahalom I will cycle on a lovely cycling lane.

Between Szeged and Mako I run into some pretty creatures made of straw.

I spend my last day in Hungary in my tent in a small forest near Pitvaros.

The next day upon reaching my beloved motherland, Romania, it`s time for me to celebrate at a fancy restaurant in Curtici.

I rest a few days in Ineu where I live, then I start cycling again towards the Alps. My first stop will be in Hungary again where I feel great in Gyula in a fancy pub.

After enjoying a great evening I cycle till a safe place near Gyula where I will spend the night in my sleeping bag behind a factory.

From here I enjoy cycling on a bicycles` lane admiring lovely sun flowers.

I make a halt in the first village to eat my breakfast.

Then after cycling another 3 or 4 km. I reach a nice touristic place where I can take a dip in the Koros River.

Here I can gaze at some gorgeous motorboats.

From here I cycle in a boring puszta` landscape and my next stop will be in Mezobereny where I indulge in eating a pizza with mussels and olives.

During the night while I was sleeping in my bag near Mezotur, at about 3AM I was caught by a terrible storm with thunder bolts and lightnings that almost put an end to my life. The dogs were barking, the thunder bolts were falling nearby and I was soaked quite through and the temperature dropped to 13 degrees. All my traps were soon very wet and I was shivering like a leave.

But I strangely and wondrously survived so in Mezotur I ate well to regain my strength.

Then in Mezohek it was time for me to celebrate my victory of staying alive under so adverse circumstances.

Then I cycled in the rain till Lakitelek where I put up my tent and spent a very damp night.

The next day I am haunted by rain again so I cover a short distance and in the evening I am in a pub in Izsak. This pub is like a museum and will hold a spell on me.

Here I can see an old collection of Hungarian banknotes.

In a painting I can see Lenin.

And also the evil Stalin is present on the wall.
