November 16th Dinner in the Godor Restaurant-located
in an old beer cellar in Szombathely

 

Terry declares this Hungarian fish dish
one of the most delicious he has tasted.

 

A TRIP TO KOSZEG, HUNGARY

Koszeg is famous for the battle in 1532 in which
a Knight (whose statue is behind Peter and Terry) turned
back 100,000 Turks, stopping the western expansion
of the Ottoman Empire and saving Vienna.

 

Yes, that roadside restaurant says "Mississippi"
and we are still in Hungary

Wait, there is more! Next to the Mississippi Road House
is the Motel Missouri!

Unfortunately, the Restaurant is not open, but there was no
catfish on the menu anyway, so it is just as well.

On the way back to Slovenia we stop at a Hungarian Restaurant
where we have good Hungarian food and music.
