On the road in Austria

Gutentag from Imst!  One day down and the second about to begin.  Had a very enjoyable, and mostly flat ride yesterday along paved bike paths through farmers fields and little Tyrollean towns along the river Inn. The weather was mixed and the temperature was perfect. The only minor glitch, other than the one flat tire (easily fixed) and the low speed crash (only hurt my pride) was the hour we spent at the end of the ride trying to find the recommended hotel based on a crude hand drawn map.  In the end we were successful and were rewarded with an excellent dinner at a nearby restaurant which only cost us 20 euro each!

Today we're going to follow the old Roman road, the Via Claudia Augusta, all the way over the mountains to Bolzano Italy.  Should be fun! 

Photos to come when I figure out how to post them using this iPad :-)

  1. Hey you! Thanks for posting. Sorry to hear about your low speed crash, glad only pride was hurt. Will be good when pictures accompany prose. Life is good in Vancouver, but lonely without you. Looking forward to Venice on Friday!
