Day 8 and we went behind the iron curtain into Hungary. That phrase sounds a bit forbidding today - and it was quite an adventure. We had to worry about applying for documenatation before we left and, because of currency rules, had opted for a transit visa (shades of Casablanca there) and could spend only 48 hours in the country. That meant, as I recall, a 200 mile drive to a camp site near Budapest and 200 miles out the next day.
