As we left budapest in bright, hot sunshine i said it would be good to see the parts of austria in sunshine that we had only seen in rain on the way over. Spoke too soon ! As we got halfway across country near to linz the sky darkened ahead of us and then the rain began. We stopped for gasole and coffees and, yet again, my card wouldn't work. I think the bank has done its 'three strikes and you're out' game on my card! The wretched machine in hungary has probably cost me 40 euros for a new one as I suspect mine has been cancelled because I tried my pin number once too often! Phone call tomorrow!
On through the pelting rain we went and prayed the campsite would be open and have a pitch for us. It did and it is very posh, the most expensive yet! There is a tiny bar at the reception and we went in for our arrival drinks and fell into conversation with a young scottish couple who have been on the road with their trailer tent for five months! They told us about free wifi at mcdonalds. We had no idea, not being macdo customers. Had we known we could have been connecting all over the place, the golden arches are everywhere!
The camp owner told me it was lovely here two days ago but will be wet again tomorrow. We'll carry on to zurich and decide whether to stay over or not.

what a pity about the weather, but good news about the fallen arches
