Adrian and Erika were kind enough to drive to Austria to pick me up by car to take me across to their place in Hungary. First stop was for lunch at the Esterhazy Palace in Eisenstadt. Or rather lunch facing the palace. Very smart it was too.
Good as the food was, the most memorable point were the toilets. The horse theme. See what I mean?
Then onto the little tourist town of Rust. Never heard of it? You should have done. Nice place to while away an afternoon.

The town is famous (well locally it is) for its wine, so we had to stop for a glass or two in one of the many wine cellars
Our next stop was at a lunatic castle. Well it was the project of an eccentric architect who died with it unfinished. A fantasy castle but not a fairy one, and sadly unfinished so as much building site as tourist attraction.
One more stop, well only a short walk from the castle, was a war cemetery. Landscaped, extensive and covering more than one war. What more can one say.
Dinner was near Koszeg. It was notable more for its location than food (fair) or service (not as good as fair). But the view on the lakeside was pretty stunning. Especially as the sun went down.
