Arrived at the cave entrance early but had time to read all the
info posted on the walls. A bit of a shame that the longer walks are not readily
available. However we went on the 1.2km 100min walk from the baradla
- barlang entrance. And what a walk. We initially went down steps to
an underground river (dry at this time of the year) and on a concrete
footpath followed the river for 1.2km. There were 4 or 5 big caverns
and the “tunnel” joining them was also huge we could have driven
EC down it easily. An amazing tunnel and to think it has 3 main
entrances and goes for over 20 km in Slovakia. We could not book one
of the 5 hour tours as a minimum of 5 people are required, and you need to book 2 weeks
in advanced. The downfalls of traveling off season with no plan!!
The upside being there was only 20 people in our tour!!
We did a quick food
shop and as I was packing groceries away John noticed a restaurant
down the road. 
A lunch of venison
in a very reduced sweet sauce with mashed spuds shaped and deep fried
(chips). Very nice but far too much. We shared a beer but did not
have wine as Hungary has a 0.0% tolerance of blood alcohol level.

On the drive, 3 campsites were visited looking for a washing machine but they were all closed.
We came to a river and found our way down a dirt track to park near the river.
It seems to be
getting easier to find out of the way camps.
