Not Really a Bulgaria Trip Report, but Maybe

[Cossie]

Back into Hungary for 1 more night, then across over into Slovenia and Weiz in Austria.

Heviz is a 'spa' town, nothing to us as being exceptional, but many tourists here, from all around.

It was time to move onto our final destination, I will admit that by this time I thought my head was going to explode, too many miles, too hot, but Weiz was cooler and we would be there for 4 nights and catch up with friends as well.





View from our room, always a church and soccer field in view in Austria!





Not our hotel, but we did eat here, probably the best meal I had on the trip, simple oven baked chicken dish.

Weiz is a fairly industrial sort of town, but has a lot of farming in the area as well. Siemens Energy has quite a large complex here making transformers. Transformers

Few rally car shots and a beautiful Benz, then down into Slovenia, detour into Maribor to show the boss the Hardly Normal shop that I discovered last year, being Sunday it was closed..
Queue for the first toll booth in Croatia, which we bypassed and then pretty much home. Croatia Airlines to Frankfurt, (new for us), then Oman to Muscat, onto KL, then MH to Sydney in an old A330, not a fan...... Very quickly through immigration/customs, completely the opposite from last time in April.
probably find others I missed, as I said before, I was taking a lot of shots with my ipad on "live". not good, think I have sorted it now.



Unfortunately my Hungarian mate Tibor Erdi Jr did not finish, he won the championship last year, and won the last event in Ypres

I have action shots on my camera, so that will take a while to fiddle with and show, if anyone is really interested.

P.S., no jokes, these much maligned Lada cars are very quick!

Great TR - happy to see more.

It's odd but I love the manhole covers - that's the sort of thing I photograph

Cast Iron..Interesting stuff , almost ever lasting and allows an interesting view of history with the places it is found.
Like many before me, I have placed many hundreds of manhole covers that will still be in use in another hundred years or more
Early days I would go to the actual foundry , a very atmospheric place that still used coal to fire the foundry…memories….
