Thursday 21st July
Alf stepped up as hero of the hour and agreed to drive a very hungover trio out of Budapest and onto our next destination, Sibiu in Romania. On the way Rich enjoyed our first bout of road rage ping-pong with an angry Romanian trucker who dared to question Marigold’s roadworthiness. Menacing as it may sound, our la cucaracha horn didn’t quite match up to the bellowing foghorn of the truck. Its almost tectonic vibration shocked Caleb out of his deep slumber and nearly bullied him out the window of the car. After that ordeal and the previous night’s rather squalid sleeping conditions we went against Rally values and booked into a hotel for a much needed bed and proper meal. No one needs to know.
