We are in Hungary! We were just driving through a small town called Dunafoldvar and noticed a huge @ on the side of a building, so we have pulled over and now are sat in a Hungarian library using the internet.
Yesterday morning we left our hotel in Austria and headed towards the border of Hungary. Weather has been horrible so was quite an uneventful day - just getting some miles done. We decided to aim for a huge Lake called Balaton just south of Budapest to find somewhere to stay. We noticed a castle at the top of a hill and thought that looks like our kind of place to sleep, so we drove up the huge driveway and Mrs P did her thing and tried to speak Hungarian through a speaker on the portcullis and a few moments later we were in a room. Mr P had his first Hungarian Goulash (not impressed!) and Mrs P played it safe with deep fried camembert cheese!
The weather today is still rubbish and really windy. We haven't seen any other ralliers since Sunday morning, but hoping to meet up with some as we approach more borders further east. We are tracking all other teams' progress via Adventurists website. Hungarian drivers are by far the worst so far, mental in fact, but we are just plodding along and our SJ seems to be going really well still...
Cheers for the comments everyone - keep them coming!
