    Danube River "cruise"

    March 5 in Austria ⋅ 🌙 48 °F

    Once Wendy heard about renting a bike and cruising the well-marked, flat bike trail she had to do it! Took a while to find a bike (we are pre-season) but then she figured out how to do those place-to-place rentals and voila! she was on her way!

    The Wachau valley would be even more beautiful in other seasons but there was still charm, and castles and vineyards. 26.5 miles Melk to Krems and Greg met her there. And only 6.32 euros. 👍 Thank God for the kind person along the way who left a basket of apples for sale!    Read more
