http://modestine4.blogspot.com/2010/10/switzerland.html

Maxted Travels with Modestine 4. Tuesday 12th October 2010, Lungerersee, near Lucerne, Switzerland. I don't think we will be doing much shopping here. Knowing prices are dearer than in Germany we did a food shop before leaving. We also filled Modestine with diesel which, although dearer than Austria, is still cheaper than Switzerland. Driving in Switzerland. Head for the gap between the tractor and the train! Around lunch time we turned off the main road and made our way down to Hallwiler See, one of the...

Maxted Travels with Modestine 4. Thursday 30th September 2010, Boldogasszonyfa, Hungary. The only reason he did this was because Hungary sided with him during the Second World War but that didn't seem to worry her at all. 16th century map showing the castle of Szigetvár surrounded by water. Zrinyi Miklós, the rock musical! The town itself is very pleasant with several buildings of interest including a modern cultural centre and a curious Art Nouveau building now a school. There is a Turkish house tha...

Maxted Travels with Modestine 4. Thursday 2nd September 2010, Grein, Austria. Before we begin, we are very happy to announce the safe arrival of Indika, our second granddaughter.

We visited her and her delighted family just before we left England; indeed, we travelled directly to the ferry from their home near Oxford. It remains one of our most impressive travel reports.). Danube at Grein, Austria. We have fin...

Maxted Travels with Modestine 4. Tuesday 28th September 2010, Pécs, Hungary. We were too weary to finish writing up our account of yesterday when we returned to Modestine last night and no way could Ian face processing the 73 photos he has taken. So this morning we have turned on our fan heater for the first time and are sheltering from the cold, saturated atmosphere of the campsite, busy with our computers, before venturing in to the city centre to visit some of the museums. Public library, Pécs. Main r...
