Austria

The misty Danube, and a view from the tent

Outside a milk machine in Aggsbach Markt. I was impressed to find out that this town was settled by mammoth hunters during the ice age!! These Viennese men were passing by and when they saw us looking curiously at the vending machine, they were very keen that we try the milk. You put in 30 cents and get a glass of milk, or you can put in more money and fill a bottle. After much fluffing about trying to get it to work while I idled in the background, the three men emerged with a glass of milk. Success! These two men were also cycle touring, and had done 100 km that day - considerably more than us! They looked about 70. It's surprising and impressive how many older people you see on bicycles in Europe. Sometimes decked in lycra and whizzing past us.

On the right is me with Matthew who turned into an actual Worzel-the-scarecrow when we entered this Austrian town one rainy day (covered in mud and searching for a cup of tea & a slice of cake as per)
