Sept 5
Tata to Visgard
This morning we left Tata with the expectations of some major hill climbs but thanks to our fearless guide (Murray) who stayed up half the night to figure out a new route and thanks to him we cut off 5 k's of hill climbs and discovered a new closeness with traffic. However we stayed alert and after several K's came upon or desired route once again. We left the busy highway to connect with the tranquil Danube. Slovakia on one side and Hungary on the other. Upon arriving at our final stopover before Budapest ,
Visgrad is a small tourist town with most of the tourist gone for the summer. We enjoyed some of their  fine wine for supper and visited some of their  little shops. Some of us wanted to climb the
 5 k hike to the top of the mountain to visit the old ruins but was quickly voted down in favour of another glass of wine . Tomorrow is our last day of biking  as we ride into Budapest.
