Wasn’t sure if my city tires would cut it. Time to put on the knobbies! The last time these were on was nearly two years ago. Adventure incoming!

Now for the fun part… This is my first time flying with a bike. I couldn’t fathom doing a ride like this without my trusty steed Fiona, so she’s comin with me!
Pengembara I'm excited for you and am looking forward to a tremendous vicarious experience!

So I guess you don’t just …. roll your bike into the bike box. I had no clue!

I’ve arrived in Amsterdam for my 3 hour layover. The flight was wonderfully smooth and I sat next to a nice older lady from Enumclaw. I took off at 1:30pm and just 9 hours later landed at 7:45am.Baca lagi

My first camping destination. Roughly 53 miles from Vienna, I thought I’d get a good start because I needed to move! The weather was initially perfect. 60’s, overcast and a nice cool spring air,Baca lagi

I have arrived in Germany 🇩🇪 The forecast for the next few days is iffy. Because of that, I relaxed a couple days in Passau. I had a feeling I’d like this city, and I was correct! Starting inBaca lagi

Jay, it looks a bit wet. I hope you are able to keep that 'down-bag' dry :-)
Pengembara Yes so far! Luckily my tent and bike bags are completely water proof! I’d be real miserable if that bag got wet, hah! So far it’s been the perfect sleeping bag 👌

I am toasting along with you! Well deserved! I can only imagine how easy it went down, and how good it tasted.
Pengembara It was delicious! A Zwickle beer they call it, which I think just means unfiltered wheat bear (their traditional beer here!)

Passau to Salzburg was going to be a two day ride or one veeery long day if I went for it. It started off decently dry, but got more and more wet as I went. Wet, muddy and cold! I opted for a hotel inBaca lagi

Wow! The sense of history must have been perhaps emotional? Hitler was actually there so long ago?
Pengembara He was indeed. If you google The Eagles Nest you can read a bit about it. And it was very bizarre to stand on a piece of history like that.

Off of a recommendation from one of the bartenders in town, I checked out the Augustiner. You pick your mug, either .5 liter, or 1 liter. You can guess which one I grabbed. You then give it a rinseBaca lagi
Pengembara Jay that looks like so much fun. I'm guessing that it's a good thing you are burning all those calories each day if you know what I mean. Just curious, what do vegitarians eat there :-))))))
Pengembara Hah! Yes, good thing indeed. And so far… I see salads and pastries 😅 oh, and pizza of course!
