Kay and I had a couple of days to sightsee so we purchased two cheap bikes from Tesco and jumped on a ferry to Vienna. Rode around Vienna for a couple of hours and then headed back to Bratislava on the sealed bike tracks along the banks of the Danube. Unfortunately we made one wrong turn an ended up on the wrong side of the river. As a result we had to backtrack almost to Vienna some 15 kms. When we found the right track it was late afternoon meaning we were late arriving at the mid way town we planned to stay the night at. Problem absolutely no accomodation. Solution: ring our amazing son in Brat to come and collect us. Two hours lately and after two close calls with the police for car papers etc we were back at our Brat
apartment sound asleep. All in all a great fun.
Arriving in Vienna three hours after leaving Bratislava.
The cycle trip begins with the scenic bike tour around the ring roads of central Vienna. Truely amazing. Fabulous old buildings, beautiful inner city parks and a safe cycle lane.
