Great cycle paths all day today, or at least as far as Vienna. The signposting was superb and we hardly got lost at all, or at least as far as Vienna! The countryside was quite varied as we passed through vineyards, fields of sunflowers, wind farms and woodland.
We were soon out of the Czech Republic and into Austria which was quite noticeable when we stopped for coffee at Poysdorf and found it was 4 times the price we had been paying all week. Onwards again over more undulating hills to Mistelbach for lunch, then a few more hills until we got to Wolkersdorf from where it was fairly flat in to Vienna.
Once in Vienna it became a bit trickier to navigate especially as maps weren't uploading on my phone. At one of our many stops to check directions we met up again with our new Russian friend Alex, who was also lost, and trying to find the official end of the Prague-Vienna Greenways route so that he could get a photo, unfortunately we were no help to him!
Anyway, we set off on our different ways, and after asking numerous people and taking quite a few wrong turns eventually found our way to our campsite as it was getting dark. It was a long day but a great cycle as despite the distance we were both feeling pretty strong at the end.
That's the first half of our journey done, the Czech Republic was really enjoyable, let's hope Austria is as good. time for Beer!
