​July 12th, today we are on our 4 wheels for 5 hours. The next border is waiting for us. After so many border crossings we should be used to it, but every time we get nervous again, only because of the new regulations after the Covid pandemic. As of today, we are back in the Schengen area. This is important for us as Swiss citizen because our country is not in the European Union, but many EU countries are also in the Schengen agreement, so everything makes it easier to cross. At the border we wait just a few minutes again and the crossing goes smoothly. We are literally driving away from the 2nd wave of Covid and using the open borders.

​July 13th to 16th. We begin to work/help on Angi’s (an Austrian) farm. Pablo’s work is to sorts recyclables and arrange the barn, not exactly challenging. I attack the garden that is about to overgrow of unwanted plants, so I clear it of those weeds. There are so many that I cannot see what has been planted (tomatoes, radishes, sunflowers, cabbage, etc.). T. comes and helps me out from time to time. Time goes by quickly and the heat gets stronger in the afternoon.
Angi has a 7-year-old daughter and she has a lot of toys. C. is busy all-day building farms with all kinds of housing and animals. From time to time she goes swimming in the large pool.
​On July 17th we will go to a Hungarian heritage park with Viki’s Hungarian grandmother, where we learn something about the Hungarian history.
​July 18th. The children walk the 3 dogs every day for a good hour. Some mornings they clean the rabbit hutch and feed them and their babies.
​July 20th, our last day here in Csólyospálos. The day is sunny, so we can pack the tent dry. We leave at 1 p.m. On the way to the next accommodation we briefly visit the city of Kecskemét. At 5 p.m. we check into the Autohofhotel Hegyeshalom on the border to Austria (cheaper than staying in Austria 😊). Therefore, we treat ourselves to a dinner in the restaurant with a Hungarian goulash. Good night!
