Today I woke up feeling a little weak and sick, with some coughing. So I decided to take it slowly.

I cycled out of Bratislava, and for the first 60 km the cycle path was amazing — paved and very straight along a dam.

Along the way I met Christian from Austria, who had also just started his ride to the Black Sea — and we kept chatting for a couple of hours and had lunch together.

After lunch I continued on my own, and that’s when the road conditions got a lot worse — gravel roads with sandy stretches in between.

So I only made it to Komárno, still in Slovakia, but right across the bridge from the Hungarian border. There is a camp site right across from a thermal bath. When I made it there, I was very exhausted, even though the tour wasn’t even that long. Still feeling a little sick. 🤒
