Camping Vienna South was a great little campsite although the services could have been better, i.e. the toilets were overflowing and the internet was unusable. Although this was easily solved by using the one of hundreds of MacDonalds’ around Vienna.
I met some nice people there too. Len Ben and Kim, yet more aussies who buy cheap For transits and go touring Europe. Also, a group of English cycle tourers, about eight of them. They had cycled from Bristol then catching a plane back from Budapest.
Vienna itself is, well, nice. It’s got a very busy shopping centre which seems to mold right in to the older sights like the cathedral. It also has a whole museum district dedicated to art.
As I was staying in campsite South I had the whole city to tackle cycling north. I think it took me over an hour. The route was easy and well signposted, just once again the traffic light system let me down just like in Graz.
When I finally popped out the other side I got a good pace going on road number 7. This took me all the way to the border where I found a Tesco, but had no Czech currency to buy anything and couldn’t find an ATM. So I carried on.
I stopped for a lovely cheap dinner and paid in Euros. Then I had to get off the main road and head into the hills. The food wasn’t sitting right in my belly and I struggled all the way to Brno. I think I may have eaten too much.
Went through Brno and camped just outside next to a lake.
