Yes, by tomorrow we have done 1,000 kms including sidetrips and that doesnt include our extra 100kms getting to Donauschingen.

Today was a very relaxing days cycling after all the tourists in the Wachau valley yesterday. Getting onto the right bank of the Danube from Krems however wasnot that relaxing, think of doing a figure of 8 across the Danube and out the other side and you get the picture, so when you think you’re going the wrong direction you are. Signage was not helpful.

Our coffee spot today was on the river and a very pleasant waiter farewelled us with” Have a good day,” he’d worked in Mykonos with ozzies, his comment was they know how to party..didn’t like to disillusion him and say we are tucked up by 930pm.

Had a lovely lunch in a Gasthof in Langensschonblichtl, beautiful local landscape photographs inside. We were going to try and get down to one of the locations of the photographs on the river with several wooden boats, but the path had a big Verboten sign and someone walking down.Found a new alcohol free beer a Goss beer, very nice.

Arrived in Tulln after another UMLEITUNG which took us all over the place very confusing. A few power stations on the way to keep hubby happy, one had never been commissioned though.

Tulln is another pretty historic town but also very compact. Friedrich Hundertwasser’s boat is here in the harbour but you need to phone to see it alas. Beautiful baroque minorite church in the square and we did visit the Austrian sugar museum. I hadn’t realised those large white beetroot type plants piled up on the sides of fields are sugarbeet and Austria has a thriving sugar industry, the sugar factory here is on the outskirts of Tulln. All those lovely cakes need sugar after all.

Vienna tomorrow I hope its not too difficult to navigate in..
