      GPS View of Purbach Austria surrounded by wine. Our Inn was surrounded by wine cellars. Look at the picture and see some vents.
      There is no bad wine in Austria or Hungary. Wild Pig plate below.

          More food at our Inn. Off-season is great.

              Look for people on top of the rock with Swiss flag.

              Turn speakers on. It plays muted initially.

              Finally found a way to move video file from iphone7+ to Toshiba.

              This is in Switzerland. Beautiful gigantic waterfall on the Rhine.
              This water goes into the Bodensee where the water is perfect for all kinds of good fish like the one I had in the Italian restaurant in Meersburg.
              Going to try YouTube next time.

                OK let me show our quaint old modernized Inn in Purbach named Braunstein. I will attach pictures of my room #1 (1 of 5 rooms). All showers are the same in these old renovated hotels. Showers are with glass doors using magnetic latches. My window opens showing nearby wine cellars with millions of bottles of wine. Our Audi blue station wagon is parked near the front door (another off-season bonus).

                Next chapters will be Hungary and then home to Ingolstadt and takeoff in München's Franz Josef Strauss Airport.

                        Hungary is next. There were posters of George Soros all over the place. Not sure if for good or bad reasons.

                        Had some of the best Pinot Noir Wine I ever tasted. It was so dark it could hardly classify as red wine.
                        Came home and got some Pinot Noir Gold Star wine and it was red and awful.

                        If any members can recommend a good brand of Pinot Noir please let me know.
