Nicole did a Freeletics workout in the cold to start the day, I’m always super impressed how disciplined she just does it. I decided for chilling in my own way and drinking coffee. A quick shower for her and we were on our way, first further along the Danube then we left the curvy road behind and were back on the classic freeways. A little bit after we passed a border crossing with Serbia, we got stopped by the Border Police. But they just quickly checked our passports and we were again on our way.
Hungary
The border was a real non event, we had to slow down a bit, but that was it. Quite nice! Then it was more highway until we reached Budapest, where we now sleep on a parking lot and plan to explore the city tomorrow. For dinner we decided to make use of the excellent cuisine and go to Burger King.
