Hello from CZE

Apologies to our regular readers, but it shard to get to internet while on a bike. When we crossed the Danube east of Vienna yesterday we saw a day tourer with a palm pilot mounted between his handlebars. Maybe that is our next move.


Enter a new theme into the tour== EURO 2008.

We have gotten to see most of every game so far. There has been good play all around, but the Netherlands has captured my heart -as well as everyone elses- so far. We have just spent a day and a half in Austria (or Australia as dad called it once). I guess there were also 5 days in Hungary without a blog post, but you'll just need to seek me out for those stories...

yes, so Austria. We bypassed Vienna even though we were in the area because of the EURO 2008 crowds. We were sad for a bit, but we've learned to cheer ourselves up with pastries. We eat a lot of pastries people. Like, one time dad ordered two pastries for himself at one backery. DAD! But as they say, if you're biking all day everyday, then you're entitled to as much butter and sugar as you darn well please thank you very much.

We crossed the border into the Czech republic this morning, but just before we ran across this:

It was entirely deserted up there. We walked around it for about half an hour and then got on our bikes and kept on riding. Its near a town called Staatz, I think. So bike touring goes.
