Got up early(ish) and had a lovely brekky before anybody else was around. The lovely lady brought me my washed clothes which weren’t quite du yet. Oh well. I spread them out in the roof outside my window while I packed the rest and fit the bike ready. <\/p>\n
The roads and views once I got going were absolutely stunning, with hardly any traffic about to spoil things. Soon however I was out of the mountains and into the plains where summer asserted itself with a vengeance. The temperatures climbed well into the mid thirties and the roads got ever more boring. <\/p>\n
Things did not really improve once I hit Austria, if anything worse as I encountered several roadworks with long waits in the scorching sun. Eventually however I found mountains again and took advantage by taking several detours along promising looking roads. One of the highlights was the H\u00f6llental, only slightly spoiled by a slow bus in front of me which I couldn’t get past.<\/p>\n
Eventually I reached my planned stop for the night though, the Wildalpen, which were in even more stunning scenery than any I had driven through so far.
\nFirst stop was a restaurant where I had a well deserved beer. They helped me find a bed for the night in a B&B just a few doors down. <\/p>\n
While sorting out my room a couple of bikers pulled up at the servo opposite and I got to chatting to one of them. Markus and I ended up having a beer before he had to keep going. I had a great dinner of red deer steak followed by a childhood delight, Kaiserschmarrn.<\/p>\n
Then it was trying to sort out the home Internet connection with Dana’s help before heading to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
