This is just the best/worst concrete circular slip road - which stretches out over a lovely white sand beach and into the sea.

I hope it's hurricane-proof.

There's a pier nearby, on Streetview. 
In all honesty, it's the dullest pier I've ever seen. Once you've walked to the end of it, all you can do is turn round and walk back to the land again.

Well you could always jump off, so that’s a second option, but yeah I’ve never understood the point of piers. That is all they offer. They should open up the structurally unsafe ones so there would at least be the thrill of wondering if you’d end up in the sea.
All those ‘What I did at the weekend’ class intros on Monday mornings could be enlivened from ‘My daddy took me to the pier and we had ice cream’ to a more exciting ‘my family fell through the pier and the lifeboat is still searching for mummy’s remains’.

It's like something from Sim City 2000.

That's even more Sim City 2000. I didn't realise how steep the sides were from the original photo.

Is it harder for a plane to take off at altitude, with the air being thinner?

I'm not really sure what's going on here, but this marks the spot where Austria (left), Slovakia (straight ahead) and Hungary (where we're standing) join.

I saw a photo on FB of my cosmopolitan friend and his family standing there. They live in Slovenia, or is is Slovakia these days.

Slovenia and Slovakia - two countries I always mix up. But I just checked again and it is Slovakia - near Bratislava.
