Bank holiday Monday. Had a couple of sandwiches for bfast to knowing if I’d find anything open like in Austria on such a day. Needn’t have worried. Even some supermarkets were open. Flat walk parallel to Lake Balaton, but once again hardly ever seeing it. Plenty of cyclists reminding me of a better way to …
Had a lot to think about and decided I couldnt afford to continue and since I’d have to get back to sort the flat in early August there was no point continuing. Yesterday I walked back to the campsite of the previous night and would begin the walk to Budapest. If there is ever a …
My mood was slightly better today but that was i think a result of its only being 8km to the next campsite. Also, i sort of worked out a plan for my tenant and found an escape route if I’ve had enough. Weird medical issues: from time to time my right knee hurts, even on …
Heard a car early in the morning and got up. The bossman seemed to be at the campsite. Asked him to open the toilets. Expected him to stay around so that i could pay him but he sodded off so a free night. Felt like i had some sort of mental breakdown today. Felt very …
Walking around Balaton. Thought it would have been a pleasant lakeside walk but i hardly ever saw it. Still, it was flat and a nice sunny day. Reached my campsite and i think it was shut. A bike inner tube kept the gates shut but it was advertised as open on the internet and so …
Decided to have a day off in Keszthely because it had looked so nice on the way in. Walked as much today as a normal walking day but happily without the rucksack. Saw a guy on lake balaton weighing an absolutely massive fish. Went to see the festinets palace thingy. Very impressive. Walking back,.felt something …
Carla made me bacon and eggs for bfast with coffee. She wouldnt take any money for it. Very yellow eggs she’d collected the day before. She asked if i had a hangover. I dont get hangovers. It was a gorgeous day, warm with a cooling breeze. The terrain was varied, roads, lanes, leafy cycle lanes. …
Had birthday cake for bfast. Left the apartment by ten, and then we went back to yesterday’s pub for a really shite cappacino (too much squirty cream). Then said our goodbyes. It’d been really nice to see them. Walked to the campsite, up what felt like a hopeless path, which had a hungarian fella at …
Going by 0545 trying not to think of the distance. Just plod along and eventually I’ll get there. The first shop i passed at about seven thirty was open and full of people but tiny, so i got a drink and 7 Days. Then every single othet tiny shop had closed hours before. It was …
Campsite guy turned up early and so i was off for half seven. Still a bit chilly so wearing coat. Came across a shop open early (the one upside to hungarian not-so-supermarkets) and bought two 7-Days. It took ages cos she was serving two old dears. The walk was ok. Plenty of places to rest. …
