Zagreb to Pecs – 226 kms in 3:49 hrs, this was on the back roads of Croatia so no tolls and Hungary has a single toll for all roads, cost for a motorcycle for 10 days is €11.21 which is very cheap. No freeways on my route small towns and villages made it slow going and picturesque. The roads deteriorated immediately I crossed the border into Hungary. My bike is built to handle bumpy roads so it just became a fun ride until somehow a bee got into my jacket and stung me in the small of my back, probably flew up my open sleeve hahaha. Then a nice surprise for the last 30 minutes when I rode into a thunderstorm and I mean a storm, heavy rain, wind, thunder and lightning, scary because I could not see a thing especially when a truck came past the other way and drenched me, I was just following brake lights and keeping my distance. I saw a service station and thought about pulling over but it was already jammed with cars hiding from the storm. I did not anticipate this weather and was wearing summer gloves and my sleeves were open so I got soaked. Finding and checking into my accommodation in the downpour was also fun. All’s well that ends well. Pecs – a surprisingly nice place, many beautiful old buildings, a Synagogue, a church that over the centuries was converted into a mosque and then back to a church, a magnificent cathedral and the pedestrian only part of town. .
