The first thing I do in Hungary is storming the local bakery. The coffee culture is big in Hungary and according to that I have a lot of cycling stops along the day. Another positive thing is the well signed and maintained Danube cycling path. It’s easy to avoid heavy traffic and find small and quiet roads along the way. Like on the Balkans I want to progress again and don’t find real joy in travelling and cycling anymore. The trip from China is long and hard and some days are freezing cold. I am tired of sleeping in dormitories, cycling through cold wind and changing location almost every day. After a longer stop in Budapest I have another five days to Austria ahead of me.

I decide to visit my old friend Martin, who settled with his wife and six kids, in a vineyard right next to the Slovakian border along the river March. I have a great time there playing with the kids and learning about the whole wine manufacturing. After a few days stay I take off on my last cycling day into the capitol city of Austria Vienna.

My trip ends here. I am home in my country and due to the harsh and cold weather conditions in December, I decide not to cycle home to Innsbruck.
