Just spent the day pedaling around the bike lanes of Vienna with none other than Oracle Jen. Definately a bike friendly city with lanes all over to seperate us from the traffic.
There's an abundance of great architecture/buildings to see, kinda endless really. Lots of 19th century stuff I think. It's tough to capture it in pictures because everything is so big or there's a tree in the way or whatever. Even the postcards fail miserably to capture the look of the city so we don't feel so bad that we didn't take many pictures. Rolled past Mozart's pad, he lived next to a massive cathedral. The summer palace has some spectacular grounds but we didn't see them cuz they don't allow bikes and we didn't want to walk much. I feel so lazy if I don't get going on the bike in the morning, my body just goes automatically to a vegitative state of recovery. But I feel great while riding.
We seem to have reached our fill of cities now (Stokholm, Tallinn, and Krakow before here) and look forward to visiting people that Jen knows in southeast Germany. The route plan to get there will be one day on the Danube river (there's supposed to be a long bike path:), two days in the Austrian mountains and then one more day to roll across the border on the 3rd.
