Day 17 Leg 2 Szob- Göd 45 kms

I’ve often wanted to go to God; I had lots of questions I had for him????

When I saw a town en route named after him, I thought this was my opportunity. We booked into the Aphrodite hotel, another God, and thought this was a place we should definitely visit.

Before we set off for God, our host at the water tower had suggested a walk to the confluence of the Ipoly and the Danube was definitely worth it.

True to his word it was stunning. A wildlife haven with abundant flowers and birdsong.

Sandy beaches and no one else about. Slovakia to Sue’s right, 20 metres away.
This butterfly landed on Sue’s coat
Wild clematis, I’ve not seen before
Sue spotted this little fellow hiding in the long grass.

Before we took to the trail, we pedalled into Szob and enjoyed some delicious Hungarian cake for breakfast.

Our route to God took us through a picturesque route with increasingly steep hills either side.
A cotton wool tree!! Actually a sheltered prolific poplar.
Holiday retreats on the river bank.
A good river bar for a snack and beer

When we arrived at God, we found a bar and enjoyed an excellent local IPA, and Sue a Hungarian sparkling wine.

Aphrodite was a disappointment, but the girl on the check in desk, could possibly have been her sister??😍. She even helped carry our panniers to our room!

We ended the day with a hot Goulash soup, washed down with a 12 year old Greek Metaxa…….heaven.
