dear hungary, do not fuck this up.
i know there’s a romance to riding off into the sunset, but, really, just don’t. you’ve got maybe a half-hour max before it gets dark and then you gotta pitch camp in the dark and everybody back in the town you just left can still see you ‘cause you made it 3km max and they’re all “they made this dramatic exit and there they are, eating cold beans out of a can” and you look like a jerk.
