Then the next day, I have to go back to the finishing point of previous day and start. Therefore, it is important to choose the finishing place and transportation to come back.

I looked around the area and saw a train station 16km away. When I looked up timetable of train station, I found that train runs frequently. I chose train station as destination. I chose lodging located near the Szeged station. It will be convenient to use train tomorrow. Today’s course was decided finally.
