Leaving Austria, entering Hungary, the one thing that will stick in my mind is the change in scenery. It's flat ... very flat. With roads that are straight, very straight.
And after the mirror smooth roads of Germany & Austria, the roads here are akin to Thailand ... rough and rutted.

First stop was at a place recommended by my friends last night - The Esterhazy Palace. Yeah, pretty .... I'm not a culture buff, so should be able to knock this waypoint out in 5 mins !

Moving on, its just more of the flat stuff.

Got to my destination, Velence, where I had pre-booked a Pension (guest house). Took ages to find as the GPS co-ordinates on their website put it just 100 mts out, but on the wrong side of a main road. I mean, you would not put a wrong digit in your phone number .... so why not care a bit more care on the bloody GPS co-ordinates !!
This place was close to a large inland lake so I figured something would be going on somewhere. So after a shower, took a nosey around, and lo & behold... well like an inland Blackpool appeared.

As noted on my Facebook post, its seemed strange to be at the seaside, but without seeing waves!

| Well earned drink .... the first of many that night. |
And as a postscript to the last pic, Hungary has a Zero percent blood alcohol limit ... well that works, doesn't it ? Oh, I'm bad !
