We slept very deeply, however, I should not have slept so well since I left the computer plugged into the new power transformer. When I awake, it was dead. I thought it was a fuse which is built into the transformer. With the assistance of the clerk at the desk I found a store which sold the fuse. In retrospect, I should have brought the transformer too.

The hotel breakfast was good but they use a machine to deliver coffee, capoccino etc. and it never does the same as a real person. The breakfast included eggs with ham inside; very good. We were off about 10:30 am for our trip of 350 km to Garabonc.

Everything was going very well until we neared Ljubljana in Slovenia. There was a large traffic tie-up. About half an hour. When we got closer to our cut off to Zagreb it was closed. The traffic was very slow and we had to merge into one lane. We went through a tunnel and onto an open road. I knew something was wrong since the mountains to the north were getting closer. We turned around and headed back to Ljubljana right into another tunnel tie-up. We found an exit for Zagreb but down the road was a really big tie-up. Construction work on Saturday and another merge into one lane. This was over an hour.

On the open road now we made our way to Zagreb. More delays for passport and a 1 euro toll. Then onto the road to Budapest
with the 5 or 6 euro toll in Croatia.
At the Border to Hungary there were delays. One line was very slow so I picked another. Lucky here because they were looking through luggage in the other line.

I phoned Tamas and informed him we would be there in 30 minutes.

Another happy greeting for all. Mother had got us through. We had a lovely supper of bogracs goulosh and lots of wine. We talked for hours and then went to bed and slept like logs.
