I woke up in Hungary, I'm looking at Croatia, but I'm sleeping in Serbia.
Left camp at 1030 and decided to go ahead of John because I was fasting and would be cranky all day.
I stopped in a town for water and granola and gave the lady at checkout a flower, she was happy. First time I seen a stranger from Hungary smile.
I paddled alone, thinking Toby and John were ahead of me on the river by now. Stopped once for lunch but never caught up with them.....that's because they were behind me.
By the time we talked on the phone i was already 20km ahead and the sun was going down.
I found camp across from a pretty town on a beach island invested with mosquitos and wild bore. The bore came pretty close, but I hollered and screamed to scare em off. Bot gonna lie, it was pretty scary having a huge beast snarl a few meters away. I actually packed everything up to get ready to leave just incase it comes back and charges I can make a quick get away.
Croatia and Sebia share the Danube for about 100km, so we go back and forth for a few days. Hopefully things dont get hairy with boarder patrol.
I'll catch up with John and Toby in the afternoon I suppose. And just sleep in and wait for them.
Lots of fishermen on this part of the river, it must be good. Wish I had a fishing rod.
Cant wait to be back home in my RV with AC and no mosquitos. These things are absolutely ridiculous. Relentless, rude, tormenting. Also the horse flies are huuuuuge. And they dont stop flying around, and they bite, and they're gross.
I'll get used to it.
Cant wait to get to Vama Veche and relax on a beach for 2 or 3 weeks before going home.
250km to Belgrade, Serbia. This is a weird place I hear. Serbian men apparently like to fight. So I would like to keep my mouth shut the whole time I'm in Serbia.
After that it's all Romania and small towns!
Paddled 77km today, whatever that is in miles.
km 1380ish
