Then off to the Suzuki dealer to see if they were open and could do my 16,000 mile service. As suspected because of the national holiday the garage was not open (it would have been on a normal Saturday) and so I checked the Suzuki dealership book and decided there were enough places in Hungary and Romania to get the bike serviced, so pressed on conscious of the time left available to get to Turkey (and Cyprus).
On across Slovinia (by motorway as I had purchased a 7 day vinyetta) and then into Hungary and back to normal roads.
Decided to camp for the night at a place that advertised itself as "thermal camping" though this really meant they had the use of an adjacent hotel / spa complex with both indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Went and swam in the outside pool (heated) and then relaxed for an hour at the side of the pool in the late evening sun.
The camp site owners had recommend at local restaurant (just 2 kilometres) up the road and so I decided to walk so I could have a drink. After 3 kilometres walking I was pretty miffed at the owners and as I could not see anything that looked like a restaurant for another 300 metres up the road I decided to walk back and get the bike. So did a six kilometre walk and then went back on the bike. The restaurant was just past the 300 metres I could see however when I arrived there was a wedding reception in full swing and they were not serving the public!
Rode on and found another place to eat. Ordered goulash (soup) and then pork chops done "gypsy style". I don't think I will be having "gypsy style" again as I think it just means cheap cut of meat with lots of fat!
Back to camp and off to bed.
More later
