Esztergom to Komarom

Today is a beautiful ride through quiet Slovakian countryside. It's hot and a slight headwind but neither are a worry, we love the fine weather. We recross the border to Hungary to our destination. We have coffee and delicious cake at a cafe our host has recommended, then take the waters at the local thermal baths. There we get chatting to a local man who is also on couch-surfing, another new friend. During our Turkish dinner we receive a text from our host - she is working in Switzerland so has arranged for her partners parents to let us into her flat. They travel 40+km to meet us. And bring grapes and wine. Her brother telephones to help with translation. WOW. Our small Australian gifts seem totally inadequate but are given and received with hugs.
