On the M7, stuck in traffic, with no movement in sight. Not out of Hungary yet and still have 4 hours once through the boarder. I just don’t get why they don’t push everything off to the side and let people get through, but it could be a huge 6 car accident for all we know. Last time through Austria, the traffic baked up for miles, and it ended up being the highway repair trucks. It does add on time but on a happy thought we got through safely.
Before we left Hungary we stopped off quickly to drop a phone we borrowed from Akos, at their bakery. Gabor, Alfonz’s cousin, also a master baker, loaded us up for the road with his specialties from organically grown ingredients. Chocolate dipped coconut and walnut cookies, puff pastries with mild sausage inside and for the kids pizza buns. The store also carries a brand of no salt seasonings and soda syrups. Gabor stalked us for another year away. Thanks Gabi!! Can’t wait to see you here in Canada next November. We said our goodbyes to Mama and Gabor and off we went.
In Austria now and the warm weather is definitely changing. We brought the heat with us to Budapest and now its turned cooler as we leave. Angelina and I just woke form our naps to find ourselves in an Austrian gas station with the boys no where in sight. I noticed that most of the workers stopping to refuel and cut the grass on the outskirts of the highway still spoke Hungarian not German. Alfonz reappeared with coffee to go with Gabor’s cookies. On the road again…
