Saturday, May 31 Gyor





Several of us started the day at 7:30 with a hike to a coin laundry. At first glance on the map it had seemed pretty close, but a more careful look revealed a hike of about six blocks. It was a bit of a challenge at that time of the morning carrying our laundry, but we survived.

We drove past Vienna and on to Wallern, near the Hungarian border, home of Frank’s grandfather and Diane’s great grandfather. Here they are outside of one of the family homes.

It was pretty warm during our stop. It was 30 degrees C when we passed Vienna and at least that during the Wallern stop.

We carried on to Gyor for the night. We ran into a bit of a snag in that the GPS had no detail for the city, so we had to purchase a map and eventually found our hotel. By 6 pm we were gathered for supper, wrapping up about 9. See our 2006 blog for pictures of our very quaint hotel.
