Post card from Vienna
Exactly 2000km (according to my over optomistic odometer) after leaving Dover, at least 10 days late and way over budget, thanks to the bad weather, we have reached Vienna.
For the last few days we have been following the Danube cycle path - apparently we are the first cyclists to complete it this year - about 300km of well-marked, well-maintained and above all FLAT, paths beside the Danube. Very civilised, but just a bit...boring. The weather has been swinging between extremes - pedalling in short sleeves followed by the coldest day of the trip so far.
Since the last posting we have had a bad stomach illness. Rowena´s took a long time to clear up and we had to resort to anti-biotics.
We are both very impressed with, Vienna. In what other capital city can you cycle easily right into the centre and out again on bespoke cycle paths? Excellent. We have been enjoying riding the city´s trams and looking for Harry Lime on the Ferris Wheel.
