End of book 2 of the Danube Bike trail. Total 655 or 300 for this second section, with 6 days of riding. Passau to Vienna is a very popular ride because of its beauty and ease of cycling and we've passed hundreds of cyclists going the other way, the majority on guided or self-guided tours. The giveaway is their rental bikes and coloured panniers. We've also seen many much more laden than us with camping gear and backpacks. Of course there are also lots of locals using the paths for commuting or exercise.
We've definitely left behind summer, the mornings are more than chilly! The open plains of Hungary and Slovakia have turned into hills, with the Danube winding in the valley between them. The people have still been friendly and helpful and our new bikes are performing beautifully.
Goodbye Austria.
