Siofok, lake Balaton, Hungary, July 23rd, 7.30pm

Did good distance today; from Prague, via Bratislava to Siofok, Hungary, including a 10km lane-splitting extravaganza caused by roadworks and a million trucks on Prague exit roads. Something absolutely not to be tried when hung over. Fortunately we weren't. It is not a nice feeling being scared shitless by irrational fear that everyone on the road is trying to kill you on the road. But it's even worse when the fear is well founded.
Crossing the border to Slovakia, it was sad to see they're saving electricity there. The giant fans that were spinning so wildly in the German countryside, were totally shut off.
It got incresingly warm coming south (the fans would help), and besides the riders, also Rami's bike got thirsty. Needed frequent watering. Apparently the Italian Benelli engineers hadn't planned the bike to be ridden at summery temperatures.
Will stay here for two nights. Maybe even go swimming tomorrow.
We dont worry of any diseases.
Surely the lake is enough to absorb them off us.
