Checkpoint Charlie

Turns out we needed a vignette for austria as well as switzerland, and
forgot to pay the toll! We passed one polizia who didn't blink an
eyelid but thought we'd better get the vignette anyway and get the
swiss one too. So we stopped at a shell petrol station and got both
for 36.40 euros.

Then one minute later we ran into a roadblock! They took our passports
to run a check for five minutes, the other cars got waved through!
Thank god we'd got the vignette on the window as its a 500 euro on the
spot fine!

I'm writing this from austria, 1 mile from the leichtenstein border!
