Budapest - Velencei-tó - Lake Balaton

After 2 rest days in which I visited Budapest and repaired my carriers after the bicycle shop couldn't help me, I continued cycling in pouring rain. On the way, the road was once blocked by garbage (rubbish city?).
My lunch break was at a small lake (Velencei-tó) before heading to Lake Balaton. However, I only looked at it from above and continued directly, as it was often only visible through fences and the beaches were not freely accessible.

Ciocănești - Viziru

I might have overdone it with breakfast and lunch today—0.5kg of muesli, 0.5 liters of milk, and two bananas left me feeling quite bloated. After that, I could barely bend over due to my swollen stomach!

The landscape became increasingly picturesque after passing Călărași, with more horses appearing along the roadside, adding to the charm of the journey. In the evening, I got lucky when a rain front could not reach me. To top it off, I met some very hospitable Romanians who kindly invited me into their home. Although they only spoke Romanian, we managed to communicate using the iTranslate app.

Der Aufstieg durch die Val d'Uina Schlucht verläuft auf einem schönen in den Fels geschlagenen Weg mit mehreren Tunnel. Von diesem aus hat man einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Schlucht. Vom Schlinigpass geht es auf Schotterwegen hinunter ins Tal.

Auf dem weiteren Weg wurden wir von mehreren kurzen, aber heftigen Regenschauern unterbrochen, welche am Spätnachmittag in einem Gewitter endeten. Daher konnten wir Trafoi nicht mehr erreichen und mussten die Nacht im Biwak bei Regen verbringen.

In Dingboche, we set out on our next acclimatization hike to Chukhung.
The weather was changing, and we encountered the first snowfall of this trip.
