A bit of Serbia, then to Szeged in Hungary

We entered Serbia when we crossed the Danube. It was not far to Bezdan where we stayed in the Anna, Cafe which was good. It was located in an old and formerly grand house.

The next day, it was not far to enter Hungary again. One had heard how Hungary has re-made the border fence against Serbia, and we had seen a section in the museum earlier. No immediate sign of a fence here, but a few kms into Hungary we saw a rather new or forbidding compound surrounded by a high security fence. It did not look military.

Our route took us through more rolling countryside to Madaras village where we had reserved accommodation.

This started some problems. We have used the website booking.com for getting places to stay and it has proved very good. It gives you a postal address and a map to find the place booked. This time the map showed the place next to a track in the middle of a forest. It did not exist but we took the best part of an hour to find this out! The postal address was fine and the place was excellent.

The next day we resumed our progress Eastwards. More trudging across endless flat countryside. About 1/2 way to Szeged we ended up on a big trunk road that had absolutely superb segregated cycle tracks. This did not last, but we did finally get there. We had booked an appartment for 3 nights, to have two full days there, which we appreciated greatly.
