Debrecen and Hortobagy National Park We’ve moved on to the far east. The far east of Hungary, that is, close to the Romanian border. We are staying in a campsite in the middle of nowhere, yet we are only about 10 km from Debrecen, the second largest city in the country. The Oldies first set out to explore along the border, popping in and out of Romania as they went. Well, inasmuch as queuing up and having your passports and…
Sunday night, EURO 2016 final, France-Portugal, and Her Ladyship is having hot flushes with the excitement – in spite of the fact that we’re watching the match on HRT2. Monday was a lazy day – I think the Oldies needed to recover from the overdose of soccer – but the next day there was a flurry of activity.

Even the gull population seemed a little quieter…

She’s been talking about this trip for well over a year (if memory serves, it was her idea in the first place), she’s been shopping and packing and making lists for months. During their six-day outing in the caravan in May she must have spent at least three of those six days making lists of all the things they’d…
