Also, from Jan 08, you'll have to buy a vignette for Belgium too. Not sure yet whether it will be an as-used or annual/other fixed charge though.
Anyway, with no border controls, I'll take the risk for any "cut-throughs". I didn't pay in Austria!!

Hall, like most other small towns we have visited in Europe, is a wonderful little, neat-as-a-pin town. I really have no basis for comparison, but it seems like an affluent little town. Our hotel is excellent +. It is a truly outstanding complete remodel. I have two new pics. With the exception of a good-sounding Bentley coupe that took off before I could movie or photo it, I now have my first shot of an outstanding car. The second pic speaks for itself.

She made Wank a bit like (a) hotel California (you can check in, but never leave) or (b) Rome (all roads lead there). Maybe she was wanking my chain (

glad to hear you are making the most of your trip to Europe Znod and discovering some fantistic town names
Oh and remember to keep to the speed limit in Switzerland, speeding fines are pretty horrific over there!
enjoy the rest of the trip...
