Day 50, Budapest to Osijek, Croatia

Sunshine n a flower
Goodbye Budapest and Hungary and hello Croatia. A drive through the countryside, that's how it felt driving through Hungary for the almost 3 hours it took to get to the border. Corn and corn and corn, that's about all we saw besides sunflowers, which they also seem to grow a lot off. Absolutely beautiful, had to stop and take photos off course. We took the 'country roads' today, and besides the corn and sunflowers saw very little activity. The farmers were not out in force, we only saw 3 tractors (yes, we were counting them) and not a single cow or sheep in sight! 
The Croatian border stop was not exciting, check passports and away you go, and then we were in Croatia, formerly part of Yugoslavia.

We found the accommodation for the night after a beer in the bar downstairs!
We have a two bedroom apartment tonight, kitchen, the works.

Osijek, where we are, is a welcoming town. People very friendly, and in general it just feels nice. 
We walked about, then a brisk walk to the 'Old Town' with a huge square and plenty of seats in the shade. Whiskey for dad, and the walk back home appeared much faster for some reason!
