Day 19. Half way


Firstly let me tell you of a fantastic night of music last night. The iPad had a flat battery so I missed the photos but it was in this street
A Hungarian folk band was belting out gypsy type music and the crowds were dancing in large circles. Mesmerising and so cool !
  Breakfast this morning was 4 eggs and salami as we talked first to Elisia in Australia ,and then to Tracy and the boys in NZ on Skype 
Far too much for us but we managed.           Nearly !!! We hadn't even got out of town and I had to play charades in a mini market 
   "Emergency, wife needs your toilet"
     "No " (that was clear )
     "Toileten ,toileten, toileten"
      "No, town center" ( points )
      "Ok, here in the vege aisle "
 "This way quickly please "
Now , how do we get out of Baja.
  Met another Frenchman last night, Marcel and he's on his way to Constanza also. We saw him in the distance half way to Mohacs and only caught up when he stopped to take a photo of the horse and wagon. The singe shaft is very common in Hungary.
I remember this area well from 4 years ago when we were here in a camper. Crossed the Duna on the ferry and then had lunch in town. Nice place Mohacs
It was only 10kms to the border so we set off after lunch. It's Saturday afternoon,so the road was dead quiet. The crossing into Croatia was the second milestone today, the first was clocking up 1500 Kms , about the half way mark.
These guys see dozens of silly buggers every summer all trying to bike the Euro 6.
    Met another French couple at the border. Heading for Belgrade .Sorry guys I missed your name
We went another 15kms to a grotty town called Beli Manaster. Lots of pensions but all a bit suspect, until we came to this 4star beauty. Bit dear but we've earnt it today
