We crossed the border into Hungary after a day of riding into fierce winds. The stretch from Belgrade to Bratislava was by far the toughest of the trip. All about the wind. The first thing we saw in Hungary was a bike path.
Szeged was the first Hungarian destination, and we got there that first night. We found accommodation at a small pensione. The thing I want to mention about Szeged is that it was probably the most bike friendly city we've been to in Europe. It featured a huge percentage of what the bike movement calls 'complete streets' - those not designed solely for the car, but also for bikers, pedestrians, public transportation. We hung around Szeged for the morning and then began the journey to Kecskemet, the first leg of the 2 day bike to Hungary. Once again, all about the wind.
We made it Kecskemet late and when we discovered that our campground didn't open for another week, we rode back into the city center and found a little pensione/pizza place. The town was mellow with a nice downtown area that we visited briefly that night.
