It was a bit of a slow start today when we thought me might get stopped and/or arrested as the Hungarians had shut the Danube to all but essential traffic.

It did allow is to refuel on water and some food though and we set off when part of the river re-opened.

The river is obviously high and there are signs all around that there has been a lot of damage. It is visible from the driftwood in the river and damage on the bank slowly getting sorted. The water levels here are still very high. Initially, it looks like the banks are lined with bushes but on closer inspection it is the tops of some large trees. There is a high water mark of at least a meter higher than current levels too.

The current is not overpowering at all and I thing the Hungarian police are rightly being cautious.

All was not lost and we managed to row 86km today with the reward being a cracking sunset on the river.
