Today was shorter, but again difficult. Not as tortuous as yesterday, but heat, humidity, rough roads, but most of all the wind made it hard. We also couldn’t find much food along the way, or decide on when to stop, as Esztergom always seemed so close. When it finally did come, we had a lot of problems finding our hotel, mainly, we discovered, because it wasn’t in Esztergom, but far away at the airport. One confused phone call later, and the reservation was cancelled. We found a nice room at a restaurant near the centre. But I’ve skipped over how beautiful the ride was. This was perhaps the closest we’d stuck to the Danube yet. When we were off the road, it was wonderfully peaceful.
The Slovakian side
In Esztergom, we refuelled with a real meal, and then made a sunset tour of the old city. I’m not sure if we’d really earned it, but we finished our tour with some refreshing drinks and ice cream, and finally with a tea and espresso back at the restaurant. Once again, its quite hard to believe quite how cheap everything is!
