G'day Vienna

Arrived in town this morning, superb weather right across Austria. I have already spent a couple hours cycling around the city and once sorted will take a good look. It looks a beautiful city on the face of it.
Its taken 5 days from Prague, Prague itself was definately worth the call, that and the beer (very cheap) were the highlights of the Czech Rep for me. The cycle from Prague to the Austrian border was great for the first 50 kms. then almost 2 days of hill after hill, 1:8's usually, so it wasn't cycling in the strict sense, more like pushing the bike up a hill and freewheeling down it and so on and so on. Hard going and much as I liked the Czech people I wasn't that impressed with much else, take away Prague and their isn't anything worth going for.
What a contrast coming into Austria. Of course unshackled by a history of former Soviet influence, this is a lovely country; great cycling excellent roads and directional signage; the countryside is beautiful, a real patchwork, of course I was on the lowland belt so much easier. The villages a very pretty with an assortment of different coloured houses, attractive architecture and a feature being a very small church that sits in the village square. Oh and cafes again. No problem cycling into Vienna, dead easy. Plan on staying here for 3 days then cycle the Danube route through Bratislava and onto Budapest. If the weather holds should be a good run. Averaged over 100kms a day in Austria, my best 117kms, now around the 2000 for the trip.
Must say its been great travelling through here. Since Prague people are starting to comment on where I'm from and what I'm doing, quite a buzz really. Having sorted the Information out earlier I turned the corner and right opposite was a Starbucks! So there is a God! Straight in for a big on and a double choc muffin. Last night I laid up about 30km from the City and slept in a wild cherry orchard, just beautiful and the sunrise was amazing.
Well think that will do it, haven't forgotten the photos, will try and sort them out.
