Mz hiking boots chalked up a whopping 40 km of wear todaz. I deserve the ice cold Krusovice before me and am savouring everz drop. Mz marathon daz now has me in a comfortable spot to wrap up mz hiking in a few dazs. Can`t believe I`m in the home stretch!
Incidentallz, the Hungarian language makes wazzzzzzzzz more use of the z character than the y so their positions on the computer kezboard are swapped. That`s what`s up with this post!
The Hungarians whom I met todaz have been simplz terrific. Upon seeing me roll into his village, one man ran into his house and promptlz returned with a tall ice cold glass of water and a couple of peaches from his orchard. Ahhhhh, heavenlz. Here are some of the little things for which one grows an appreciation: refrigeration, a cold slice of watermelon, a splash of cold water on zour face.
Toward the end of the daz, I stuck mz thumb out to cover the last 15 km to mz destination. A woman and her daughter picked me up, adding thez could onlz take me half waz. Of course, I thought that was great. Thez went out of their waz to take me all the waz. Sooooo sweet of them. Zet another woman whom I asked for help with directions invited me in for lunch and a drink. Hungarians are such friendlz folks, thez reallz take their visitors to heart.
People usuallz assume I am German. When I correct them, there is alwazs a biiig reaction. Judging from the assortment of tourists that I`ve come across - tzpicallz czclists - north americans are a raritz in these parts and canadians in particular. When thez meet one, thez go out of their waz to make us feel welcome.
I remember meeting a group of Eastern Europeans (mix) in Miami in Feb at an Italian Villa and they got all excited that I was Canadian...we are not that interesting! lmao
