One month on the road and puncture number 2, drawing pin just outside the protected area! but hell who cares the sun is shining and life feels good, the only thing I can moan about is my new saddle, I can see signs of it breaking in but it is still very early.
Grein the river has changed again and it is very nice once again can not believe I will be in Vienna in a couple of days Its strange you spend days heading toward a place and when you get there, its not what you expected, and some of the places are just stunning and you would have by passed in a car as they are not on the route.
Well its been a good month hard at times very wet and cold a lot of the time but good none the less, there have been times where I have missed my family and opening my birthday cards brought tears, but things are settling down in to a routine and I am having a good time.
Well day 2 in Grein has been a really nice day the weather is just fantastic. Went in to the town to post the some kit home and to buy a tyre and replace the mitts I lost, and ended up with a new stand for Gromit too.
Well went to the local imbiss for lunch and ordered coffee and Goulash and potatoes, I had to share a table with some Austrians as the place was very busy full of locals always a good sign in a tourist area. When up rocks a larger than life character Leopold Stahammer the local vineyard owner, clutching some of his wine, told me that I must drink wine with him and his friends as the weather is to fine for coffee and wine is for sharing. So I enjoyed my lunch with some very good local wine. When I said that I had not seen much Austrian wine in the UK he told me it was because along with the Swiss wine it is bottled up along with the Czech wine. So my lunch lasted a good couple of hours leaving slightly the worse for the wine but very mellow.
