Sylvia Stevenson
According to Sylvia Stevenson , there is still one country in Europe where the horse is king: Hungary. ' Motors are anachronisms ; they simply don't fit it. Not that there aren't good metalled roads-there are, if you want them. But it's easy to avoid them altogether'. In the course of her ride she seems to have avoided them very successfully indeed.
She did much more than ride, however. She drank the national drink, white wine and soda, danced the czardas, visited a cheese factory, and had ' a real Hungarian dinner of about fifteen courses.'
