Christmas Adventure. Day 2

Well Gentle Readers, our Christmas adventure continued today.


We picked up our car from Budget in Budapest and drove out of the city heading out on the highway. It was really windy but the roads were very good.

We stayed overnight in Croatia in the town of Varezdin and we went to our first, rather small, Xmas market. We bought a hat for Robert, gloves for me and a rather fetching set of ear muffs for Lena.

The hotel was small and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

We drove north into Slovenia where we had to buy a road tax sticker called a vignette. We needed one for Slovenia and Austria.

We seemed to take no time at all to cut through Slovenia but it looks amazing and we will try to come back in the future.

We didnt get a chance to stop in Slovenia but we did stop for lunch in Austria and had Schnitzel. I am sure in Vienna it would be better but we were disappointed with it.

The drive was uneventful apart from Robert making up a song and we arrived in the beautiful city of Vienna about 3.30. We checked into our hotel and headed straight for Vienna's metro to go to the central square for Vienna's famous Xmas market.







It was amazingly beautiful and we boughr lots of tasty food including soup in bread, bratwurst and drinking gluwein.

We are now back at our hotel and will have a nice quiet relaxing evening.

Check out our youtube video to see our adventures.

Merry Christmas everyone.
