Jul 18 – Jul 20
Again, a short but sweet stay.
Stayed in a campsite across the river from Wien, in Neue Donau. Had heard bad things about the Wien campsites, very narrow plots. This was true, but they are quite long, and the ground was not very full so there was plenty of space. Even the Contiki group that turned up on the second night didn’t spoil it. They were very quiet, must be near the end of their tour.
Rode the bikes in again. Vienna is built for bikes so it was a really nice ride in. Had to cross over 2 bridges, one of which had a crazy spiral bike ramp to go up 3 stories onto the bridge. Then through a nice green park... and onto the wide streets of Vienna. Should of eaten at the Aussie bar we stopped at for a beer. We ended up at the Rosenburg Cafe opposite the Sacher cafe (which we ended up at later for some torte and coffee). Not cheap and not good quality food either. Ah well... live and learn. The souvenir shops have lots of “we’re not Australia” trinkets. Like “Austria. No Kangaroos” street sign shirts, glasses etc. Austrian Kangaroo, ie. Cows, stuff... you get my drift.
Weather wasn’t great, so didn’t ended up spending much time in Austria... moved on to Czech Republic
