We woke early for the last leg of the trip which was over 800 km through Serbia, across Hungary and back to Banska Bystrica. The campsite looked cheerful in the daylight. We fed a hungry dog and spoke to our neighbours.
Once we got on the Serbian motorway we whizzed through Beograd and into Hungary. As we drove through the Hungarian puszt or steppe it just looked like more fields and farms till we stopped for a wonderful final meal at an old country estate about 80km south of Budapest. Finally I got a feeling of the special life of the Hungarian plain.
Then we headed on and after the wild Balkans, Hungary looked very tame and well-maintained and the drivers appeared models of good sense and calm sobriety. Then we crossed over into Slovakia at about 9pm. We had covered about 3000 km and 8 countries in our trip. Time to give Mrnous a rest and sleep in our own beds and tell our traveller's tales.
