D16 The journey home

We left Camp Enigma after coffee and breakfast. We travelled along the motorway to the border with Hungary at Tompa. There we got stuck in a long slow-moving queue that involved some kind of police action. It was a frustrating experience and continued till a group of older people seemed to remonstrate with the border guards and then a van that was being inspected was moved aside and the queue started to move again. 

Finally, in Hungary we could see an even longer tail-back of cars and truck waiting to leave.

We had a stop for something to eat, but Maros didn't get the perkelt he'd been looking forward to, and we all started to just look forward to being in Slovakia and getting home. At 11pm we arrived at Katka and Maros' house. The massively epic journey was over and now there was all the unpacking to do and the later there are the memories to enjoy.

Our holiday was a happy escape to the warmth of Greece, a chance to be with other people and nationalities, to appreciate the beautiful sea and sky, boats and mountains, a real privilege to finally get away from daily life and go somewhere new. It was also hard at times with the long journey and the engine problems, but in the end I know we were all glad to have a great summer holiday abroad just like in the before times.
