There being nothing in the area we packed up and hit the road quite early. 30kms down the road we stopped at Tulln looking for morning tea. We were too early, nothing was open. We stopped in a pretyy riverside park with some magnificent roses and an impressive statue. According to the Nibelungenlied (an epic poem written around 1200 in Middle High German.), it was in Tulln that Attila the Hun saw Kriemhild (the Nibelungenlied's name for Gudrun) and proposed to her. A fountain, the Nibelungen-Brunnen ("the Nibelungen Fountain") was dedicated to this event in 2005. We had an apple each and headed on doen the river.

We pressed on and found ourselves on the outskirts of Vienna, The bike trail took us right into the middle of Vienna. We popped up from the path beside the Donnau Canal and rode a couple of hundred yards to the State park where we waited till our flat was ready.

We had arrived in Vienna quite early following our early start so we had to wait a few hours for the landlord to let us in. I wandered around the park taking photos whilst Wendy setttled down in the shade of a tree, minding our bikes...Next page.
