So, What’s On That Bike?
The nature of solo touring is that you are carrying everything that you would gladly split with a group and of being a homosexual is that you overpack.

My bicycle journey across Europe comes to an end in Budapest. A week of swimming and baths and I am back to the States.
I walked out with everyone else. My exterior stoic, though a bit moist like the rocks around us. I know there was a bit more shimming to do to get out, nothing as hard, but by then my blood pressure was elevated, the boys less cute, the guide cunning and untrustworthy.
Some days, I pretty much feel like a loser. I wanted a tattoo that would remind me that, at least once in my life, I set a big goal and accomplished it.
There is nothing like a good soak in a mineral bath if you’ve been biking. Here’s how bathing in Budapest works.
The only time I fiddle is along the road. It is the only time I feel comfortable…The problem is that I can remember very few tunes and all of them sound bad.
What I have always wanted is a convertible with dash. The 2CV almost fits the bill and is cute. It also happens to be a rattling deathtrap.
It’s lovely to spend some time indoors after a month of camping, but it’s also a swell place to go hiking.
Staying with Julius, in comparison with Ellen and Manou, is a bit like vacationing with Betty Ford. This is not necessarily a bad thing as a short detox before the Danube wine region starts is a smart palate cleansing
What I liked most though was that you are with Germans. There are no tour buses or no major attractions, just friendly folks and decent campgrounds
