Day 11- Krems to Grein

This morning's cycling was really good, it was cooler again, but the cycle path was quite varied going through lots of wee villages, vineyards and orchards.

The river was also much more interesting than yesterday in that the  valley sides were much steeper and we could see towns and villages on either side.

We stopped for lunch at Melk after about 22 miles, and had a look round the huge Benedictine monastery.  The old monks certainly didn't scrimp when they got the decorators in!

After lunch the valley flattened out again, and the headwind which had been quite strong in the morning developed into a full blown hooley! 

The remaining 32 miles to our campsite at Grein were a bit of a slog into the wind and it was also pretty cold.  Grein seems to have decided that the season is over however we found a decent wee Italian restaurant to get ourselves refuelled.

Today's miles 55 https://www.strava.com/activities/386994358 (strava is showing about 4000 ft of climbing but it was actually pretty flat again)
