Well it was another hot one. Breakfast was taken outside as it wasn't even going to start cool! So this is the last day to Vienna (except for the final ride out to the airport on Thursday). It was just a smooth fast run along busy cycle ways through the dormitory town of Klosterneuburg where we diverted for coffee and cake. Then it was on to the suburbs of Vienna. We were passed again by a Dutch couple with their two young children: he with a ~2.1/2 year old on a rear cycle seat and pulling a Thule trailer-buggy with a ~9 month old inside; she lugging two massive panniers and the rest of their combined gear in a one-wheel trailer. Respect! We found the Bauhaus store on the run in to town (B&Q equivalent) and purchased the pipe lagging needed for wrapping the bikes for the return flight then made our way to the YH and checked in. After a shower we headed off into the heat to ogle all the magnificent buildings that Vienna has on show. Boy was it busy and hot. I think it will be another wet handkerchief cooler job tonight.
