The previous riding day, I had neglected to fill up and mostly forgot about it until my low fuel light came on. We stopped at the very next fuel station...217 miles...wow!
I don't like cutting it this close. Supposedly bad for the fuel pump also as it relies on the fuel for cooling.
On the way out, west thru Romania, we stopped at Corvin's Castle.

The ticket office was on an extended break and we didn't have time to wait around, so we made for a nearby lunch stop. I'll definitely try to get back this way to see more of the area.
Ugh, summer traffic looks the same everywhere.
In most of Europe, the highways have some type of toll (a notable exception is Germany, the autobahn is toll free...for now). In Italy, we pay at toll booths (I use a transponder) but in other countries (ex. Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Switzerland), you must purchase a "vignette"...basically a sticker that proves you paid the toll to use the highway. The vignettes are usually good for a few days to a few months. I usually buy my vignettes online and in advance to avoid having to stop and buy one (the vignette is usually tied to your license plate). Joe ignored my advice and waited in line to get a vignette.
Unfortunately, after Joe signed the receipt (verifying the license plate was correct), I noticed the country was wrong so he had to buy another one...aargh!
Moving on, we made our overnight stop in Szeged home of the famous Paprika. As usual, I made sure there was good beer nearby.
Joe can be a picky eater but his wife says when he and I are on a trip, he eats alot more and much better. 82 years young ain't too bad.
Not wanting to repeat the previous mis-planned fuel stop, we stopped for fuel before my low fuel light went on. Unfortunately, after waiting in line for 10 minutes, I was told I was at a pump for use only by Hungary citizens (less taxes). So, I had to wait in whole 'nother line...again.
This is the official notice telling me that I was dumb.
We pressed onward westbound to Slovenia!
