Working on the quickest & cheapest
Toll free route home we headed for the Hungarian Motorway system
which required another vignette which is controlled electronically.
You can buy it online by credit card but the website didn't seem to
be security enabled & we were using a public internet connection
so didn't want to give out our details. Therefore we had to pay cash
at the border & suffer the exchange rate rip off, paying in
Euro's as we planned to get in & out of the country in one day
without buying anything apart from 100% pure diesel.
Arriving at dusk in Austria our map
showed a large lake not too far from the Motorway where we found a
very quiet parking space close to the closed turnstiles for the
'beach' access. Leaving in the morning to explore the small town &
get some shopping we saw a sign forbidding camping but it was
probably just beyond where we had parked.
Getting into Austria meant we had to
buy yet another vignette but this time we had the local currency
Euro's so there was no extra charge. Now we were back in the 'rich'
part of Europe & it was very noticeable. Better roads, buildings,
sign-age, recycling & expensive prices. The cost of a Coffee on
the Motorway had doubled (though we weren't buying any) but we were
able to finally get a super clean shower at an OMV services for 2.20
Euro's which was welcome after going many days without campsites, and
they also have free WiFi.
