We left Bratislava in a very light rain and about 65 degrees. The route followed a flood dike inland through a lot of nothing. Sandy commented we might as well be riding a stationary bike and staying dry.
We soon added rain jackets, then rain pants.
As we passed into Hungary it started to rain harder. That's not the Hungarians' fault, but anyway Sandy started to get chilled. We eventually reached a town with a restaurant, and we stopped to warm up, dry out a little, and share a pizza.
At our goal town of Mosonmagyarovar the rain stopped. We checked in to a $70 (w/ breakfast) 4-star hotel, cleaned up and rested, then took a walk around town. A distinctly sleepy small city, notable for a crazy number of dental clinics. Turns out, the Austrians come here for dental care because it's much cheaper.
After an excellent dinner we settled down to watch England vs. Croatia in the soccer World Cup semi finals. I don't know anything about tactics, but after watching a lot of World Cup matches at least I can enjoy watching the game well played. The team that passes most skillfully generally wins.
