Oct 10 - Vienna, Austria

Awoke and left early. The two boys from Vienna took thier train back home and I set out through the not well travelled path of highway 226. Most of today's cycling was on cobblestone as these roads are quite old. Left the beautiful Danau valley and entered flat country all the way to St. Andra. Climbed over a bit of mountain pass and found Vienna at last just before noon. Went to the youth hostel and had lunch. Full up there so I set out for a guest house 10 km away. Found out it too was full and set out over cobblestone for the third youth hostel 10 km away. Washed up and had supper. Wrote and went to bed.
