Exploring the known and unknown

The email I received about the bike being ready had me off to an early start to cover the 450 km from Budapest back Liezen to collect the bike. I wanted to get some money from the bank, surprise... the banks close down between 12 and 2. In fact it looks like half the country closes for lunch. I think Austria. Switzerland and some parts of Southern Germany are the only places in the world I have ever come across this.
I remember that once I visited the Marklin museum in Goppingen, I had only been there for half an hour, suddenly all the lights went out and was asked to leave as they closed for lunch. Anyway by three pm I was on my way to the city of Klagenfurt, another 250 km ride.
Yesterday when I paid my bill at the excellent hostel, the guy behind the desk said:
After ze raaain, I hope zyou haf a nice day !
Well I did !
The pictures will show you why
after so much rain this was the song in my head
Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Ab Ja jongen,, je moeder zij het al; "na regen komt zonneschijn". Ik reis weer heerlijk met je mee. Hoop al je verhalen uitgebreid te horen als je in Brielle langs komt. Houdt 'm heel en kom goed terug. Groeten van Ab
Rob Yeah Baby!!! In my recollection the best section ever I have come across world wide. That is; to ride with a motorbike, especially the cobblestones make it an adventure.
Anneke Wauw, prachtig!
