Day 7 - Spitz to Tullin to Vienna

The best leg of the journey was kept for last. I decided to get up early to have enough time to complete the trip and see a bit of Vienna in the evening. It was just getting light when I headed off and it was good cycling in the cool of the morning. The route takes you through vineyards and several small towns selling all the local produce and crafts. It was hard not to stop in each one. They were up early in the vineyards harvesting the grapes. They grow a lot of flowers here as well - it looks like the kind of land where anything will grow if there is enough water.

The heat of the day soon arrived and it was into the 30’s at times.

Vienna is a bit of a shock to the system after all the small cosy towns. It took a long time to find the hotel. One thing I have learnt is don’t ask directions from people sitting outside pubs. They mean well but their accuracy is not to be trusted.
