79km, 9-22deg, mostly cloudy, no rain, although there were some ominous looking clouds skirting around us. A 6:30am brekkie allowed us to get away right on schedule at 8am. Within a 100m we were on the Danube Cycle Route and heading northish. It was good to see the boat traffic coming and going on the river; cruise boats, day trippers and barges carrying all sorts of cargo. Our first rest stop was 20km out near a neat little bike/pedestrian ferry crossing point. ...

0 km, (1045km total) 12-17deg, cloudy with the odd bit of drizzle, glimpses of the sun. The last time Greg was here was 2009 on the way from Amsterdam to Vienna with his cycling buddy Graham W. It's much busier now with a lot more people and traffic, both on the river and the roads. Lucky for us we have bike paths, but today we are on foot. Mick's phone started having issues yesterday so it was off to the phone shop first up this morning to try and resolve that. ...

70km, 13-22 deg, mostly cloudy with some very light rain, but insufficient to don the raincoats. We skipped brekkie at the hotel's bakery and went to have it at the bakery where Gunther's Mum used to work in Braunau, Austria.

Empty tummies satisfied we then cycled the few ...

25km, 8-16deg, cloudy and cool with a few spots of rain. Awoke to a nicer day, although the sun was still hiding. Brekkie was at the bakery downstairs; coffee and a bread roll. Headed out about 9:30am behind our tour leader for the day, Gunther. First we visited the town square (1265) of Braunau am Inn across the bridge from our hotel in Simbach am Inn into Austria. It just so happens there was an ice cream shop there, so we had to have one. This shop was one of ...

50 km, (total 955) 8-14deg, cloudy and cool (in some parts quite cold!) with showers/drizzle all the way nearly. Lovely quiet hotel out of town away from traffic and crowds equals a good nights sleep last night. A hearty brekkie with two bus loads of tourists at 7:30am and we were on the road by 8:30. As if on cue the light rain started and the temp dropped to about 8deg. So we stopped before we started to don a layer of wet-weather-gear. On we went into the ligh...
