Goodbye Germany Hello Austria
A new week and a new country. Austria has the best bike paths along the Danube. They are paved, smooth, well marked, and fast. It is much more like cruising on the road, except when you are diverted into a small town with narrow streets and cobblestone roads. We woke up to a foggy day, but after I packed my wet camping gear for the umpteenth consecutive time, the sun came out and we had a day in the mid-80s. Yea!
The ride was again great with lots of river, castles, and churches…more than I can remember. The memorable part was camping on a lake in Linz and being able to go for a swim. It was fantastic to cool off instead of trying to stay warm and dry. However, we noticed the local folks also came to the lake and many had no concerns about taking off their cloths and sunbathing. Joco, my swimming partner, and I swam across the lake and found a huge section of the beach that was a public nudist beach. Surprising stuff! The bad news was that with very few exceptions, we concluded that these bathers looked better with cloths on. The adventure continues.
