Noting that Leannes train was running 20mins late, we settled into the cafe/bar at the station and proceeded to have a couple more rounds ...

... Having checked the bus details for the morning, we found a hotel, which was also a pizzeria, a casino and a night club...
we decided to go the 'nicest' restaurant in town and I dined on the largest rump steak I've seen.. all the while being entertained by a flautist, who predominatly performed 'contempory' pieces...
After dinner we wandered around the town, which appeared to be charming, with a locked castle nestled behind the ...

... or the next town... But it looks like it's a bit of a tough life for him. He choked back a few tears at one stage. Either talking about how hard life is... or perhaps he was just reminiscing how things used to be there. Again, a very lively spot at one stage, but now almost deserted.



What can you expect when they're all either in Canada or Australia?



Yes, no doubt ...

... t mean much, especially in the west, but in the days of stamp collecting instead of computer games, Tito was a familiar figure as besides ruling Yugoslavia for so many years his face was familiar to us in colours such as magenta to cyan as he was on stamps of many denominations of dinars.

... very well located between the Old Town and the train station, we took a walk around the old town and the Lent area down to the river to see the oldest grapevine in the world (over 400 years). They don't get very much out of it every year so it is decanted into quite small bottles and the mayor of Maribor decides who to send bottles to.

Neuer Fabelrekord beim Race across Burgenland durch Jo Wagner 21:55 ist die neue Fabelzeit, an der sich alle Extremläufer in den nächsten Jahren messen müssen. Jo Wagner hat sein hohes Tempo bis ins Ziel durchgehalten. Somit wurde der alte auch von ihm afgestellte Rekord um fast 3 Stunden! unterboten. Ein perfektes Rennen von einem perfekten Läufer. Das frühe Eintreffen des Siegers brachte das OK Team ins Schwitzen. Das ...
