  Waking up in our "boat-hotel" with a gorgeous view of the river and UFO bridge. Boat didn't rock hardly at all as all the river cruise boats went by all night. Sunrise over the river. Barbara We're at the border of Slovakia and Hungary here. There's an action / fun park right at the border!

  Action park here has a ropes course and a paintball area. Sue Bob and Gabriel. Gabriel never failed to put on a fun face when a camera was in the area.

  Gabriel, Sue, Barbara Unique! Clouds are getting ripped apart - it's windy up there! When we're not on bike paths, we're on quiet country roads like this.

  We stop for a banana munchie and Gabriel tells us we're under a walnut tree. Gabriel peels one apart for us to see. It's perfectly edible but still a little soft, not ripe yet. Typical water pump in center parks of small towns. We refill our water bottles here. Most power line poles are concrete and often in a V. Modern ones are single wood.

  Gazebo in the park with the water pump. We stop for a trail mix break. Tree in the center of the gazebo has its branches trained to become a cover. Keith without a beer! Lemonade is awesome here. Carl, Annie, Kate, Gerrie, Bob
