Day 4, Szeged to Budapest

Absolutely shattered. 117 miles today from Szeged to Budapest. Not too bad to start with, but just got hotter and hotter as the day went on. 
I was on route 5, the old road to Budapest. Traffic wasn't bad until Kecskemet, but just got worse and worse with so many huge trucks. At one point I had two 22 Wheelers pass me on a slip road to the right and another couple to the left. At that point I had enough and turned off at Dabas to take the back roads.

Blow me, a mile down the road I saw a stray dog. Of course I stopped and gave him (I don't know, it might not been a her) half a packet of biscuits and some water. He/she was so friendly, poor thing. Ann Pursey found a local rescue nearby, who I called, but their van was in Budapest with another dog. They suggested another rescue, but they didn't answer 😕 
I spoke to a lady in a car. She said "it's a farm dog, I see it here all the time". If that's the case, they don't deserve it.
I had to leave him/her there. If I had a car... 😔 
Late then, riding in to Budapest in the dark. Eventually I got to the EuroVelo route 6, which I hope to follow now for quite a while. I'm hoping it will be more enjoyable, because the last couple of days have been anything but.
