Dunaujvaros to Kalocsa: Hospitality and Friendly People in Hungary
As we have travelled through Hungary we have been touched by the hospitality and friendliness of people we meet along the way. Christina at the Pension made our stay enjoyable and memorable. As well, today, as we rode through country towns and along the main roads, people were waving, truckers were honking and giving us encouragement, people were calling out in welcome. We have heard from other travellers that as you travel further east, people are less reserved and more outgoing. We agree. The weather has changed from the sunny high 20's to overcast and colder. There is a threat of rain for the next few days and possibly even snow.
First, our hostess at the Panzio brought us coffee, then roasted squash - delicious,
Stopped for lunch at a pizzeria in a small town. As we left, everybody came out to watch us and ask us about our bike and trip. This man, Joe is Italian and lives part of his year in Hungary and part in Ontario, Canada. What a small world as his son goes to the same university I attended in London Ontario.
By afternoon, the weather had really deteriorated. It had become very cold and the fog has rolled in. Very poor visibility. We have put on layers and hope to reach Kalocsa soon.
Everybody uses bikes -not sure what the axe was for.
