After one night and only 56km of cycling we exited Serbia again, at the 'three-country-corner' bordercrossing. At this point Serbia, Romania and Hungary are connected. To our surprise there was a crazy fence between serbia and hungary. The existency of romanian territory was only made visible with a flag. We got an exit stamp from Serbia after answering the question from where we are coming. At the customs of Hungary, only two meter further, fiona answered the question 'where are you going' very naively with: 'to the northcap'. The officers laughed, watched through our passport pages with all the stamps from our journey, and couldnt believe that we are going to cycle to our destination. From the border it was only a short flat stretch to reach the hungarian city Szeged. This city would have been nice to visit and discover, (very recomendable!) but since our time schedule is quite tough, we jumped on the next train to Budapest. There we had rented a super tiny mini 1 room apartment, where we (luckily) could squeeze us and our bikes in 🤪

@cyclingtogether What is the rear rack on the bike in the foreground of the train picture?

Love that border crossing out in the middle of nowhere!

our rear racks are some old ones we've found in portugal in the woods. marc adjusted them with hammer and hard work to fit them on our bikes. in spain we upgraded them with the holes for the bottle cages...
@cyclingtogether the city camping in Budapest is quite nice. We recommend it. As well as a cake in cafe Gerbaud ( dead city center)

Transcontinental biking may not be for everyone, but it is a thing and it is amazing :)
