Vienna to Trieste

After spending some ten days or more very pleasantly, we took a carriage to ourselves, not being able to obtain the Courier, and started on the evening of the 10th of Nov for Trieste.  The journey which had we not had a carriage to ourselves would have been very fatiguing, was accomplished comparatively easily by us in some 70 hours. The posting regulations in Germany generally are admirably arranged--you pay before hand for every thing, horses, postillions &c., and have no further trouble. a paper is given you mentioning the time that each post must be performed in, and if any complaints they must be written on the paper and you obtain redress.  The route is very hilly, and very beautiful in scenery, the road in many parts made at great expense and sometimes almost equalling that over the Simplon.
