15km into Passau, big pastry based breakfast, 630km in the bag! Danube looking more industrial now, river has been fully navigable for a few days. Also entering a very popular stretch for cycle tourists, polite use of bell normally shifts 'em!
630km, a fifth of the way?! Leaving Passau, in midday heat, got to stop dong that...
Brown Danube merges with blue tributaries.
Linz, Austria. Where Adolf Hitler wanted the capital of his empire to be. End of another long ride, promises of a campsite by a lake for tonight, another 100km day. Four boules of ice cream, each.
Outskirts of Linz, heading for campsite, bicycle polo players, very friendly and impressed at the single speed/fixed gear effort. Warned us to watch our backs in Serbia, thanks guys! Campsite did turn out to be by a warm and clear lake, surrounded by substantial nudist population. Evening swim was bliss, good for the muscles, pasta and pesto by the tent.
