Hungarian Hunks

We crossed into Hungary on Saturday, 23rd May and camped in a village just across the border. The following day, we had an easy ride south before camping again, this time in Szilvasvarad nestling in the hills of Bukk. As we were preparing to leave the next morning, we were approached by the proprietor, Lazlow Szepessy, who at 67, is a former European and World Weightlifting champion. Lazlow is still actively involved in the sport and when he wanted a photo taken next to the GS Adventures, we insisted that he flexed some muscles. He is still in great shape and made us look rather weedy but when it comes to feet touching the ground when seated on the bikes, we win hands down!! It was a pleasure meeting Lazlow and we wish him continued success in his sport (there's even a 80 - 84 years section so he has still got a lot of events left in him). After saying our goodbyes, we rode south-west to Budapest in 32 degrees of heat - opting to avoid the motorways and seeing a bit of scenic countryside instead.
