Day 21 Tiszakecshe to Mako

Our early morning stop for coffee was at a roadside saloon bar. Some of the locals were drinking down hard liquor at around 7 am. We started on flat roads then switched to a scenic cycle track recently built with E.U funding. Trouble was that the track zig-zagged around and added on lots of distance and time so we switched back to less scenic faster roads. The roads vary a lot here from smooth surfaces to real boneshakers. On the scenic routes we passed under a familly of 3 storks nesting in their wicker basket on top of a telegraph pole. We also see lots of swallows darting to and fro catching insects on the wing. Each one they eat is one less ot bite us and give us lumps all over. We have stopped in a lovely pension in a town called Mako just short of the Romanian border. Thanks for all the comments everyone has been leaving recently, it's really encouraging.
