We're in Austria!

Hey folks,
So we finally got our hands on the internet again! Not that easy in the days of "you've got an iPhone, right?". So pretty much relying on cities big enough to have a library, which again seem to be disapearring since everyone's online! Anyway, the big news is we've made it down to Linz in Austria, with Vienna the next big stop on the trip. We spent two days hanging out in Regensburg, which is a beautiful city, very chilled out, and had a quick look around Passau, which is more set up for day trippers on their big fancy ferries rather than locals. Just uploading a few photos up until Passau, will put up more when get the chance!


The medieval fair in Neuburg

Stopped here because of serious headwinds. Now known only as mosquito alley!

Modelling the mug I got from Guarav!

The famous Weltenburg dark bier, brewed by monks...and tastes delicious

    2. Haha, ye I was wondering where they picked up the name from...i new it had quiet a bit of history behind it, maybe its a bit of an oversell for this hall, although it is mighty fancy! You,ll have to give ma and da tips on how to post to this, is there a trick to it...they tried a few times but no luck. Anyway, happy birthday to you! We,ll be travelling for the next 2wks or so to get to budapest so wont be at a computer. Hope you have a good one!

    Ich habe es nicht hingekriegt, eurem Blog zu folgen. Wie macht man das? Ich hoffe, ihr habt euch in Wien trotzdem gut zurecht gefunden und einen Schlafplatz gefunden!

    Dieses verlängerte Wochenende genießen Pierre und ich auch in der Natur und fahren wandern in die Alpen und schwimmen im Walchensee!
