We cycled through Prater Park where they were setting up for a weekend of testing ahead of the 1.59 challenge in October. Eliud Kipchoge is going to try to be the first person in history to run a marathon in under 2 hours. Just as well it’s not this weekend in 32c!
We cycled along the side of the Danube with hog roasts on the left and naked Austrians roasting on the right of the bike path. I have edited this photo of rowers on the river to crop out a couple of naked bodies...
Oh look, another apple strudel seemed to make its way into my tummy.
It was a short ride today, so Joanne and I decided to have a wander around Schloss Hof, an 18th century Hapsburg palace. The state rooms had been turned into a child friendly educational experience, bizarrely involving super market trollies in one area.
The ornamental gardens were stunning and well worth the entrance fee.
Shortly after the castle, we crossed over the Freedom Bridge into Slovakia with more reminders of the evil Iron Curtain.
The ride into Bratislava almost entirely on bike paths was just fabulous.
A short, but really fun ride today.
After a quick shower, Joanne and I headed off to find some lunch and of course a cold beer.
It is such a hot day so we just had a little tourist walk to find the iconic ‘Man at Work’ statue.
We also had to have a delicious ice cream at `Arthur’s` - it would definitely be far too hot here for Arthur the dog.
Dinner was a delicious red Thai curry at the Sky Bar, unexpected food, slow service but a great view.
