Good morning from Budapest !  Yesterday's journey from Prague saw us leave the Czech Republic, pass through Slovakia and enter Hungary. The roads around Prague were a bit busy, but the traffic soon thinned out - probably as it was Sunday.  We stuck to the main roads, which were effectively dual carriageways most of the time with a speed limit of 81 mph. For a good deal of the drive the roads weren't great in that they were very bumpy ( extra comfort stops needed ! ) and very noisy. The three of us tend to travel at around 65 - 70 mph, which is plenty fast enough for a Mog.  The scenery was pleasant, although not outstanding so not really worth a photo.  The weather up until yesterday had been very comfortable in the low 20's, but yesterday took a step up to about 34 so it was a bit like being in a tumble dryer ! The Mogs cause quite a stir wherever they go and this seems to be increasing the further East we travel.  They have had countless photos taken - from crowds at bus stops to passengers in vehicles on the roads !  The thumbs up, lots of pipping and waving are becoming the norm. We drove behind 2 police bikes for a while yesterday and I think passing traffic thought we had an escort :))  We traveled 336 miles in total. We are off on a sight seeing tour of the city today and then we travel to Arad tomorrow which will be our first taste of Romania.

Hi Sue,
Just to say. I don't know if you know that, if your photos are all saved into your laptop, When you add a photo, you can download a load of them in one go.
When you 'Choose Files' and it takes you to your file, Cover the first photo and then scroll down by holding the shift key and covering as many of your photos as you like in one go. When you click on 'open' they will all download into the blog under each other with a gap between. Then you can go back and make comments under each one if you want to.
Best Wishes
Frank
