Day 21




D70km; 9:30-16:00
Paks - Kalosca - Fajsz/Danube - Baja
One day to go and we hope to enter Serbia. Today we packed the second and last Limes book. We followed the Limes route most of the time. It is a well known byking path along the old North border of the Roman Empire. We've seen some peaces of the Roman walls and crossed some Roman bridges.

Today on the road we made up the route ourselves and continued bicking on the Danube dikes. The temperature was higher and the wind was blowing from the North, which enabled us enjouing the surroundings even more. Along the forests, corn and sunflower fields we've also noticed a lot of paprika fields. The dried paprika's were offered for sale as necklasses in most of the villages.

Here in Baja, we are in hotel Duna again, but this one has a beautiful view and lovely interior. This hotel does not remind to the communist but to the Habsburg period, that is slightly more romantic while listening to some street musicians playing 'Die schoene blaue Donau'.
