plan 'c'

Budapest was on plan 'a' but disliking the vienna campsite for which there was no alternative, plan 'b' was to push on to gyor, hungary, rather than stop at budapest and then take in salzburg and zurich on the way to geneva. My plan to visit stuttgard was daft once i looked again at the driving distances. But leaving timisoara a day early gave us a day in hand so lou decided he could cope with the 550 km between budapest and salzburg and he fancied the fish and chips by the river danube anyway! Then we could spend two days in zurich perhaps. Plan 'c' was born!
It was 5pm by the time we made the campsite having had a problem with using our cards to pay for gasole . A change of machine and card finally solved it otherwise we'd still be stuck at the filling station.

Gwen and I had been texting as at first we could, then we couldn't and then we might be able to meet up. She was spending the weekend in budapest with vince. Knackered, hot and weary, we realised a train trip and a long walk was beyond us. So regretfully we said we wouldn't meet and left them to find their veggie restaurant while we did a slow stroll down to the lively scene at the riverside.
Ordering food was challenging so we stuck to 'hekk' and chips for lou and chips for me. Of course, a cat found us and then a semi wild kitten who darted under and around the tables finding what he could.
Dark by now it was lovely to sit under the trees and watch the boats on the water and the crowds coming to eat. Business was fast and hectic, orders being cooked and announced over a tannoy. I made sure they could say 'pikok' loudly!
