There were some small ups and downs along the way. We were finally able to test our "unstoppable mustang". . .

The weather also turned bad, which forced us to wait out the rain once, and on the second to hammer in the bolt and rush from the descent to the bottom, smiling at the rainy sky. When it was time to stop, Budapest was 54km away. It was decided on night pokatushki. But the Warmshowers dude convinced us to take a break and calmly come by the next evening, when we can fit in with him. Therefore, already in the dark, we had to look for a place to spend the night. It turned out to be a field right next to the highway. Finding a secluded place in the trees, we set up a tent, under which we laid straw in abundance. It was the softest night in the tent.

Note: there is always a safety moat along the roads. It is quite deep and it was almost impossible for us and our giant to cross it. But if you have ordinary bikes, then taking them under your arms, you can safely overcome the obstacle.
