Rumänien Heute Morgen hatte ich wohl verschlafen. Als ich aufstand war es bereits halb Zehn. So lange ist es mir zwar gar nicht vorgekommen, aber ok, immerhin fühlte ich mich erholt. Bis ich losfuhr war es dann halb Elf. Eigentlich wollte ich etwas früher los, um zu vermeiden, dass es wieder so knapp wird wie…

Nicht der beste Tag… Nach dem verregneten Tag gestern nahm ich mir genügend Zeit zur Erholung. Bis um 10 sollte ich mein Zimmer räumen, aber das sollte kein Problem sein – dachte ich. Gestern fragte ich mich nach dem aufpumpen des Voderrades, ob die Luft wohl halten würde. Für gestern ja, aber heute Morgen war…

Eisernes Tor Heute ging es alles der Serbisch-Rumänischen Grenze entlang und dabei gab es einen Höhepunkt der gesamten Donauroute: Das Eiserne Tor gilt als einer der imposantesten Taldurchbrüche Europas. Am Morgen ging’s etwas später los, als ich ursprünglich wollte. Denn als ich abfahren wollte, merkte ich, dass ich im vorderen Pneu fast keine Luft mehr…

Dogs This morning I set off shortly after seven o'clock. I wanted to catch the ferry to Ram, which is about 118 kilometres away, at 14:30, so I should have enough time. The second thing I hoped for was that the traffic in Belgrade might be a little less in the morning. Whether this is the case...

Spring Firstly, a follow-up to last night: what wonderful encounters you have when travelling! As I finished eating at the vegan restaurant closest to my accommodation and wrote yesterday's post, I was beginning to wonder when the waitress would come back so I could order dessert. But okay...

It's rolling again... After the short detour to Croatia, the next border was just around the corner today - and this time I had to show my ID for the first time. But entering Serbia was easy: show ID when leaving, show ID when entering, done. Only later did I realise that I didn't even have my sunglasses...

The wind, the wind, the heavenly child After not being able to sleep very well last night - I was sweating, possibly from the spicy food - I took it easy this morning. But I set off shortly after 9am, which was certainly a good thing considering the relatively long stage. I left Hungary after just 18 kilometres...

Relaxing... After the past few days, I have realised something: I was riding too fast. After a few days of great riding with a tailwind and good rolling roads, I wanted to keep up this pace and always pushed hard on the pedals as soon as I slowed down a bit. But the surface and the wind made it difficult to...

Off to the south... The first thing we had to do today was say goodbye. And that wasn't so easy. Julia and Balazs told me several times that I could stay as long as I wanted. Thank you again for the great hospitality and we'll see you again. So it was a little later than planned with the...

Onwards to Hungary This morning I struggled to find my rhythm. For some reason I didn't sleep so well last night. And I'd probably eaten a bit too much breakfast. So the start was rather rough. Fortunately, at least there was no headwind and the roads were good. Today was...
