And here`s how it was last year:

In the bus, in the summertime, 4500km round trip – it wasn`t very easy. It`s good that air-conditioner worked well.
 

Breakfast on the road.


Wien. The Hundertwasserhaus – residential building in Wien, Austria. Designed by Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, it was built in 1983-1986. The building is distinguished for its ‘hilly’ stories and the roof covered with earth and grass. Inside several rooms real trees are growing. Hundertwasser, after whom the house is named, after completing construction works refused fee for the project, saying he was happy that in that place nothing ugly had been built. (Wikipedia)
