17 September Solt – Harta – Dunapatai – Urdas – Gederlak – Dunaszentbenedek – Uszod – Foktö – Fasjz - Baja

I leave late, but only after I receive a healthy breakfast with sausage, cheese, eggs and homemade jelly. But we start with one home-brewed Palincka, and then a second for the road.
The heavy rainfall has made the gravel dyke track rather soft. My rear wheel spins and I heavy to really push it to make progress. After 15 km, I take the road for some time. When I had back for the dyke, it’s freshly paved, but not for long. More than a shepherd with his flock, 100 sheep, some goats, two donkeys and of course a dog, I don’t meet. But the park is full of birds of prey. Some are quite tame and give me the eye from about 5 meters, before they decide to fly away. Hope that is not a bad omen!


In Baja I reward myself with a room in the Duna Hotel, hose down the mud of my bicycle and go to dinner. I meet with a couple, which live close to Leipzig in a small village. They have decided to make use of early retirement and are now traveling to the former Central European states they could never visit.
