My 4-star room for the night after leaving the cosy apartment of Fabian and Noemi in Budapest. It didn´t rain but the night was windy and I enjoyed the walls and roof above me.
It rained all day over 110km between Kekcskemét and Szeged... Halfd my way was in forests where I could observe some hares, feasants, deers and a nest of beatiful storks, which would fly if I came closer to the post.

I passed 1000km right in the middle of the Hungarian plains, on a dusty path, at dusk : Waooooooh !!!
The sands were so soft that I could not ride for 11km. I walked and pushed my bike in a labyrinth of trees and thorn-bushes, relying on my compass to get out of there. I experienced my 1st puncture after an attempt to ride aside the sand :-(
mmmmh !

A shorter haircut and a tired smile after 50km riding southwards of Budapest, just when passing 1000km... And not a single pub to celebrate it !
The neo-roman Cathedral of Szeged: The former one was destroyed so as 95÷ of the city in 1896 after a huge flooding... And rebuilt. Today, the dams have been re-inforced all along with temporary sand-bags as the Tisza level is just 15cm below the lim
Inside the Cathedral of Szeged... yes baroque is far behind me and byzantism is getting more and more obvious
Les montées des eaux du fleuve...
