Day 6: Thu 2 Jun - Bad Deutsch Altenburg to Mosonmagyarova

Ride: 70km

Three countries in one day! Had breakfast and started the ride today in Austria, mornos and lunch in Bratislava, Slovakia then dinner in Mosonmagyarovar, Hungary. (I haven't even tried to pronounce that town name.) All within 70 km. Saw a stunning 1,000 year old church just after the start of the ride.  It had been built by the Romans and subsequently re-built and knocked down by all sorts of invaders and occupiers. The day's ride was flat with a tail wind and most of it was spent at about 30 km/hr.  Hence we are all a bit tired tonight, despite the tail wind.
