to Komarom via Gyor

The temperature dropped 20 degrees C overnight announced by huge peals of thunder. First two hours of cycling were damp but with a tailwind on good cycle tracks.

Weathered a shower in a bakery in Gyor that happened to do good coffee and cake.

The approach to Gyor from the south is pretty and sudden and the old town is attractive. However leaving Gyor going East takes a long time with industrial scenery. There is a huge Audi plant to the European which makes 90% of all Audi engines.

A section of the official route was unsurfaced and nearly unrideable after the rain.

Since finding digs in Komorom I've walked over the Danube to Slovakia and back but then been pinned in by more rain.

Pics: poppies, crane nesting and tending a chick on top of a telegraph pole, view along the Danube.Read more
