This was home to Prince Nikolaus Esterházy.

It’s located in a town called Fertőd that’s west of Budapest and southeast of Vienna. Taking a small detour, it’s on the way between Budapest and Vienna. One can team it with a trip to Sopron.

It has apparently been radically refurbished since this 17-year-old pic. They ditched the orange-yellow and toned down the monstrous bushes.

It gives one a nice little taste of lifestyles of the rich and famous–19th century style.

Beijing has workout equipment all over the place–mostly in parks, but sometimes just by the side of the road. One sees the same sorts of things in Bangkok, and even Phnom Penh has exercise equipment on the river front strip of park.
