We left Szeged after a needed two days there. It was not far to the Serbian border then South over (by now) the usual flat country. In Kanjiza, we saw a sign to a fish restaurant; it was lunch time, so off we went for an excellent lunch. We were next to the river Tisza which flows down from Szeged and the Carpathians originally. This was a hotel complex and an open field to the riverside, and it was warm and nice, and you really ought to go there next time you are in that part of Serbia.
Then on, and after a long day to Kikinda. This town had a lovely feel, lots of cafes, a museum with a mammoth and the place we stayed in was fine. The next day to Zitiste, a smaller place. We made a navigation mistake on this bit saved 10km.
All this had been over pretty flat countryside on beautiful sunny weather with only a light breeze. The next day was different. The wind was strongly from the South-East and we had a big distance in just that direction, to Vrsac. We needed two cafe stops - well, we do these anyway - to recharge the bikes' batteries. They are normally good for more than 100km, but we learned that a strong wind against has huge effect on range.
After Vrsac it was more hilly. Just as windy but less distance. We stayed the next night on the home of a cactus enthusiast right on the Romanian border, which we crossed the next day, with 20km to the Danube.
