How To Treat Cough In 6 Month Old

Blago one day forever ... Blago

So the ultimate goal of our journey completely stamped approaching. We will finally find our friends, the sun, the aquatic center, beautiful terraces and beer at 75 cents (pint), Bulgarian women (for viewing pleasure of course), the hotel at 5 € night our favorite dishes and of course the legendary parties at the Underground!
But first, there are 70 km to go and my knee told me that it will not be a cakewalk. As usual, the first few miles, I feel nothing, but more importantly, we see that it is much softer than expected. Road Blago through a very mountainous region and we really thought a rough time, but it turns out that ultimately, there was practically but downhill or flat. Add to that the pain did not wake up and it was the very last stage: it was a pure happiness. 42 ° C have changed nothing.
5 km from Blago, we stop at our friend Yordan for a small brunch conditioning before the grand finale. Camcorder in hand, Rado to completion, we were filmed for the final moments bicycle and entered the city to the Place de l'Opera where we expected a cheering crowd (see link). We then took a drink, check into the apartment of Alain, the French friend who introduced us to the area, restaurant with friends and especially evening at the Underground, the box of our favorite friends there. This is the starting point of our holiday
, real ones, not those where we look at the clock in the morning, where we have the toes in a fan, lying on a deck, admiring the view.
But it is also the end of a fantastic adventure. 2320 km across Europe with Tom, it has not always been easy, but what experience, what memories, I gladly renew, but that's another story ...

Expired Vigamox Solution

Alpe d'Huezov!

Unable to leave Montana without you about our encounter with Flipper transdimensional Server. We get up and being ready, go down to breakfast, included in the price. A guy a good sixty years comes to the table to show us the menu in the morning and go for the solo Flipper Server: "Mategledet pledogletapoltov kuglovski
tchuchki bistoufly Grut flakeublak tizuski bistouket OMLET flumach quiputz dazuglaski ... "The guy was speaking in Bulgarian ultrasound. I do not know how Tom has understood" omelette ", so we took two omelets, to simplify life. Then we ordered a hot chocolate and an iced coffee . pinball second spin, we did bring 2 chocos & 2 coffees, it took more pay. Flipper Thanks and see you soon for new adventures, we take the bikes and plot.
25 km long not too steep climbs and short descents, it was the premise of the big climb. It heats up well, one last break and you attack the coca chunk: a coastline of 22km a climb of at least 1000, charged and with a blazing sun above our heads. Indeed they announced between 39 ° and 42 ° c in the region.
We agree with Thomas to tell you, "the trick is the hardest that we have made our lives".
The coast was steep, especially without respite and endless, not a moment of respite: 2H30 non stop effort! HARD CORE! To be honest we stopped 2 times to drink, never leave it too long because HARD CORE!
course to complete the picture, do not forget the cars and trucks that do not always have the distance necessary to avoid us. Arriving at the top
14h : What a relief! Beady uttered a cry of egg between Tarzan and Marcellus Wa llac in the cellar. Sneaky its side, a victim of his only break in the middle of the trip chain mounted it goes without saying, did not have enough juice to say anything soit.Petite lunch break and there were expected to mega raid super relax a 20km least u: and in thy uc bah! 10 minutes later and it climbed back like that for miles. Beady's knee did not like the joke. The last two hours for Sofia it was very difficult. However, the descent on the capital was a great moment. It starts in
les montagnes la surplombant et d'un coup on voit la grande cuvette apparaître avec les premières villes de la périphérie et enfin la capitale bulgare tentaculaire avec ses blocs par centaines, ses espaces verts et ses monuments au loin. Arriver comme ça d'une montagne à plus de 55 km/h au-dessus d'une ville de près de 2M d'habitants, c'est vraiment un
spectacle grandiose.
On prend le traditionnel train de banlieue pour entrer dans la ville sauf que là il s'est transformé en car. Ne prenez le train en Bulgarie que si vous avez beaucoup beaucoup temps devant vous.
Arrivés en centre ville, on fait appel à notre ami Rado chez qui on doit passer la nuit pour nous indiquer le chemin. Rado, c'est the Bulgarian happy. And so it was lost as expected. Re-call and nouv it a little clearer explanation. Here it is we find our Bulgarian friend. His neighborhood "Madlost" (Youth): bars USSR era buildings, facades to pass a squat for a 4 star, but inside is fine. These are the remnants of the communist period. The new regime has given the apartments to people, but the condominium is no or very little. Only the rich in the new residences are entitled to a "Western luxury." That evening we made a small quick meal and a drink we share in the quarter. In a bar trend that contrasts with buildings nearby. According to Rado, the appointment of moutrés ("mouth") on the corner, kind of guys widespread bodybuldés no hit with wicked heads together and bombs (not necessarily better equipped level gray matter). We
let's not go too late. Tomorrow, the last leg of our journey and about 70km bike to join BLAGOEGRAD. Our friends are waiting. The festival will begin.

First Way Station Visual Pathway Eye After There

Bulgariiiiiiiiie !!!!!


Bulgaria Finally! After passing through 6 countries, only 3 steps and we will be there. The Romanian galleys are forgotten. It's crazy the effect of a border. Once past the gargantuan meals based on traditional Bulgarian kachkaval as breaded chopska salata, chuchka burek, fries etc. siren was taped on a mythical dart contest on TV in English. Too hard these English, they managed to excite you for a contest between two piles of fat spiked with Guinness, sending their 3 arrows at lightning speed, causing hours of fun from the crowd gathered around (by eye, about 3000 british pints and sitting in front à la dietetic doubtful). Seen like that is not very sexy, but I swear that in Kiffa!
It was also that we take a little care of us, because even if the next day's stage looks pretty simple, along the Danube again, should not that be our little problems worse, because in less than 48 is a huge hill that awaits us. Last night, sleep was restorative, I have a sore knee and Tom found a parade in his saddle problems.
A small detail anyway, inland along the river on the Bulgarian side, there is no more spoiled than the Romanian side, except that employees work. The road is being built on almost the entire route, they managed to make us climb the hills that 3 poor There was the path and best of the best, seen nowhere else, even in Romania: the portion of 3 km with optional super venerated Paris-Dakar. Thick sand alternated with large loose stones, all at the entrance to a major city, Lom ... good job 100% Bulgarian.
breakfast and break the mountain towards the south. We finally left the Danube, which will be accompanied on the trip hundreds of kilometers from Germany. To leave Lom, he had to borrow a hill very steep and mostly paved road, very boring bike. And hop back of knee pain. For the rest of the stage, not much to say except that Because of that, we had to stop in Montana, 25 km earlier that e expected.
Montana, not bad at all. It looks a little less cute, in Blagoevgrad, the city where it goes: a nice pedestrian town center with shops, beautiful outdoor cafes, fountains, greenery, university and a large hotel with Hilton alllures the façade a little tired. That's where we decided to put our suitcases. Lobby concrete, cardboard room, but it does not matter. Considering the price, it does not cry too late for a mattress or a TV that works poorly. A special pillow for steel, you're doing a battle of duffel with, you can kill someone.
It must again be well rested and eat, because tomorrow is THE MONTAGNOUZE!

Scholl Outlets In Singapore

Romania, shall we say? ..... Ahooiiiiii heeeuuuuuuu!!

Get Up & Go! Beady sneaky and not via ADSL this morning. And because of this, or rather thanks to our Serbian friends. The beers were good and great conversations. We head into the "ua". And what awaits us outside the tent of our new friends? A hot coffee. Allez hop, my breakfast with friends!

We're going to 10h/10h30, not in Olympic form but happy. Directorate Romania, 15/20 km de là. Après un arrêt express à la frontière, où les douaniers nous ont gentillement épargné la file d'attente, on se retrouve au pied d'une magnifique côtelette de marque Peugeot : 12 km de mo ntée plus ou moins difficile selon les portions, en plus du soleil, ça nous a fait un peu mal après le p'tit déj. Plus d'une heure de grimpette sous 35°C et un genou en compote à l'arrivée pour moi : "HARDCORE" !!
Notre 1er contact dans le pays fût un type chelou dans un rade à Moldova Veche, parlant pas mal français. Pas méchant le gars, mais vouloir gratter 3€ pour nous avoir montré un resto, faut pas abuser. La couleur was announced ... It was going to be easy in this country. Was cleared quickly from the city rotten, because we had already fallen far behind on the timing. It was speeder without depriving themselves to admire the Danube. At this point, the river is bordered by mountains very steep, wooded and rocky between parties: an aggressive and imposing terrain contrasts with the calm water.
On the journey, not much to say except that we quickly regretted not having traveled Serbian side. Indeed, the Romanians decided to rehabilitate the entire road along the Danube, with the help of Europe ... great idea. But should s'mettre to work guys! Bitumen torn for miles (we started in "ATV") and workers in permanent break we lost a lot of time. You add the strays reverence and total lack of bars or any body of water over 60 km, nice ride quickly turned into a big mess.
Apparently, Romanians voted "no" referendum on tunnels. When the mountain fell down into the river, rather than making a hole in it, as the Serb side, they are a diversion with option "Alpe d'Huez. After yet another side to dodge a blank rock a little too steep, you meet in a village coffee (finally) and a "penciune" (sort of hotel) where we decide to stop. It is important to rest because the day was over 160 km to go to finally reach Bulgaria. We pass on the cake Tronches spotted in the bar because the owner was nice and comfortable: that's the key.
The banks of the Danube were a foretaste of the galleys we met in Romania. Today, hello hell, true! The Hungarian desert, next was a joke, because there, in addition to the heatwave, we were treated to all options: hyper aggressive drivers, insults villagers, always super highways rotten kids that we throw pebbles, hordes of angry dogs, no bank, no bars, not a cool person encountered in more than 300 km. In Romania, even the sunflowers do not want to push! Both say they gave everything to reach Vidin, Bulgaria our first step. My knee hurts when the day came the big climb and fatigue Tom that I could relay did not help. The only positive is we did not spend a Lei more than we gave Octavian on the boat. A
Carafate, we take the barge that brings us to the shore of the last country on our journey. Just avant d'embarquer, à bout de force, on a pu s'acheter 1 bouteille de Pepsi et 1 tablette de Milka : quel bonheur !! Je n'sais pas si c'était la délivrance ou le contenu de ces produits (dans ce cas-là, ça fait vraiment flipper) mais ça nous a fait l'effet de 8 Red Bull cul-sec !! On avait une patate de folie pour les 5 derniers kilomètres.
A Vidin, incroyable : des douaniers marrants, des habitants sympas, des boutiques, des bars, un bel hôtel pas cher qui faisait également restaurant, le paradis !! De quoi récupérer un peu de force pour les jours à venir, car le voyage n'est pas terminé. Nous sommes le mercredi 22 Juillet et l'objectif est d'atteindre Blagoevgrad Saturday to do the chug with our friends.
Before discussing the result, it seems important to conclude on Romania. Of course, by reading to us, it does not want to spend your next vacation. But we certainly have crossed one of the most idle parts of the country in a period of drought at that. People we have spoken of Bucharest, the capital, Costanza on the Black Sea, North and East, as being very nice and places to discover. So it was a stroke of bad luck and we'll see if curiosity prompts us to return.
Tomorrow is pushed to the foot of the Bulgarian mountains.

Football Players Showing Jockstrap

SRBI



Szeged Aaaah! We leave you with regret ...

Considering the price of the bedroom to shit it was, it was dropped on my breakfast. It took four days to eat.

Szeged is 15 km from Serbia, then we forget everything and start again on something else. Here we enter a country that knows very little and has fairly bad reputation, it's the least we can say. Even during our trip, people who spoke of Serbia discussed in the evil zealous police, corruption, racism, not very encouraging before you go. The episode

crossing the border should be detailed. Indeed, our Hungarian friends have built a brand new highway to rally neighboring Serbia. But we cyclists small, can not travel on highways. It is forbidden and very dangerous. So we continued on the old road. After the customs office was closed: roasting, barbed wire, signs "No Entry" visible goods, 2 hulains beings normally would have made half round ... not us!

We pass through a portion of fence that was pierced and it goes to the Hungarian border post at Hwy. Here, we explain that veut entrer en Serbie : imbroglio !! Ils ne comprennent pas comment on peut vouloir entrer en Serbie alors qu'on y est déjà. Le mec a du mal à communiquer avec nous et appelle ses collègues, puis vient le chef et enfin le chef du chef. Bref, on se retrouve rapidement entourés de 5 ou 6 douaniers hongrois plus ou moins énervés et des automobilistes qui se foutent de notre gueule en nous disant qu'on s'est trompé de route pour le Tour de France.

En les noyant sous un flot de conneries, dans un mélange incompréhensible d'allemand et d'anglais, en faisant la plus belle tête d'innocent possible, on réussit à avoir raison de leur patience et ils nous laissent aller vers le poste frontalier Serbian bbrrrrrrrr ......... Serbian Big Bad! We arrive before the official passport, stamp, thank you, hello! That good start ...

Rather than give you a chronological summary, I'll give you some overall impressions. Serbia is a beautiful country. The roads are good, nice, well marked and traverse beautiful villages where the inhabitants, very curious, did not stop to greet us. We can judge the atmosphere of a country in the first contact. It was called Jovan, selling a small grocery just across the border. Speaking excellent English, asking lots of questions about our trip, we left his number in case you encounter an episode with premises. That's what I call hospitality!

In Serbia, these are the people we have attracted. As the extraordinary Doucha: you drive in a small town, Tom is approached by a guy in a utility, he lives and works in France, in the Sentier, and invites us to a drink. He is 11, he still has work, he said we're going to Vrsac, the great city of the corner for lunch. It gives us appointment there in a typical restaurant. It is in the meeting, order fast, talks fast, laughs a lot, lots of jokes, talking business, he has no time, he has to leave, he takes notes, tells us review and he soon disappears: it was the tornado Doucha! After

Vrsac, it goes to Bela Crkva, a cute little pond where it was decided to pitch our tent before moving to Romania. The campsite reception is closed, keeper speaks nothing but the Serb: practice. A guy comes to our rescue: Milos is the other pleasant surprise of our stay there. He speaks English and quickly adjusted our installation problem. Later, we find ourselves with friends to drink a few beers and talk about lots of subjects. They all speak English, the discussion revolves around travel, people, politics, foosball, Serbia, on our journey ... They have a great interest in Europe and that Serbia out of its isolation.

This blog is not a political forum, but with Tom, we will still give a little advice on the matter. From what we saw, Serbia deserves at least as much or more, to join the European Union that some countries that are already here and we've been through, as Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and especially Romania.

This country will be the subject of the next section, if you plan to go soon, read it before, it can serve ...

Wedding Invitations Wordings We Need Cash

Yes! This Is Szeged But Here! Budapest

We not been disturbed by the natives but the mosquitoes have rotted existence: a classic.
So you wake up well determined to smash the bitumen towards Szeged to Serbian border. And then by arranging the business we realize that our "green space camp" was a cemetery. It is, after all, a living like any other and this one has the merit of being peaceful. What you sleep! It did not take long to clear anyway. The
Chauleur oppressive and at 7am in the morning, announcing a terrible day. But lo and behold a lake was marked on our road, swimming and resting under the mid-term !
After twenty miles we quickly realized that the day will be complicated. The combination "Sun lead / headwind egg" is hard for organizations. Energy expenditure is enormous. Water supplies are rapidly dwindling. Hydration is a priority. And that big problem, this southern part of Hungary is a desert: no station, no restaurant open and abandoned villages, "Elado"! ("For sale" in Hungarian).
we add to this super fun side of local residents and roads closed to bikes. The stage is set: ON GALLERY!! And water is short (under 35 ° C not cool), not a fucking cock 60km. Break bathing turns cachemar. The lake was actually a swamp transformed into faux park without infrastructure, "Elado" or almost!
Then we throw our sights on a camping too "elado. And then lo and behold, in this ghostly landscape emerges a fresh water tap. Is recharged and we leave up to one-depraved village where we decide to take a break. A fresh wind we eradicates our siestas. We looked up and ... Dark clouds and lightning in the distance, which can save! It straddles the machine and it pushes hard, thinking of Szeged. Rain overtakes us, civilization as well; of under what shelter and drinking a beer in a small shop. The lady, very nice, we offer peaches from his garden (a little gift from above).
The 20km that separated us from the hostel were found by Aurelian a formality. So we come to Szeged. Remember that we are Saturday night is important.
And then something amazing the city is dead: no restaurant, no human being, riverside sad to die. Everything is gray and gloomy. However, we find easily the address of our hostel, the icing on the cake of this wonderful day.
Story:
Tom aka Sneaky: "How Much is it for a room for 2?"
Nana's Home aka sister smile: "It's gonna be 11,000 gold Forin 48 Euros" (for info about 11000 are Forin 38th)
Tom: "Sorry to weekends Paid 20 Euros in Budapest"
Nana: "Yes this goal here Szeged IS! "
Tom: "You re right it's Much Better" After we have
housed in a former operating room with integrated cockroach, we opted for the gulag-style room (see Video "Boris Szeged). Short and the road to Szeged Szeged was really rotten.
the breakfast 'was included, we would avenge. Serbia was beckoning us.

How To Make Someone Asleep





















wake up on the barge, coffee prepared by Romeo. The captain already raised, the boat was ready to go the other way, toward Vienna. It was time for us to heading back to Bulgaria. Upon leaving, we Octavian even gives a little money Romanian (100 Leu, about 25 €) to get by there on time to find a bank. Rarely seen someone so generous. They have earned a shipment of French wine & champagne on our return. During a breakfast at "Kayak Land" (there were pictures of champions kayaking around the restaurant; Slovaks love apparently) and cross the bridge that leads to Komarom, Hungarian twin town of Komarno.
few things to say on the 100 km that separated us from Budapest, if it is only 15 km from the capital, we took the classic approach to train special "big Cities. A station worthy of the heyday of the USSR, but a kind of RER all options, with bicycle racks and clean toilets that open by themselves, a must.
At the "Station of the West", a special welcome for tourists was established: city map, brochure in French and promotional operation "Nestle Mineral Water". At 39 ° C in the shade was not a luxury.
A quick little bike to the hostel recommended by our English friends nightlife of Bratislava, shower, threading flops and go for a walk in the streets of Buda. Auartier historic fortified churches National Gallery, Parliament, suspension bridges, Budapest is a beautiful city. And what of his wives! They are worth the trip alone, to please the eye of course, because it's more complicated to communicate. Hungarian is an incomprehensible language and their English teachers look as good as ours.
It arises in Pest to make ice cream. The landlady, whose husband is French and who met by Paris-Jordan by bike (it can not be invented, then we can not fight), we recommend a place to escape. It is in recognition for the evening. The hostel was far away, so we decided to ask. Small local beers (not mal), small food, card game (a game incomprehensible Hungarian), located in atypical hyper, very cool. 22H (definitely get older really), back to the hostel by subway for a good night's sleep, despite a desperate attempt of our neighboring British barracks divert us from our goals.
the morning with Tom, a single idea in mind, take a bath! Budapest is indeed famous for its baths, residues of the Turkish presence in the region centuries ago.
Some schools are 500 years old. For about 10 €, we still had access to an exceptional place, for its aesthetics, but also by the variety of baths: water temperature 18 to 40 ° C, whirlpool / to common saunas of all kinds, steam rooms, indoors, outdoors, for 5 to 10 € more, we have access to a variety of massages, the details escape me, a brief moment of pure happiness and relaxation that we did a very foolish! As
dragged to a bathroom, it was just time to take an evening train and exit the city. It is not envy that wanting to stay a Saturday night in Budapest, but it was a blow to never find the strength to leave.
Commuter Train to Dabas, on the road to Szeged, with the sole objective of finding a place to sleep. It's hot, no need for tent corner of lawn, we extend the tarp, sleeping bags, a sweater for a pillow, mosquito: it left for one of our now classic "nights in tears."
Tomorrow morning is the beginning of 8 long stages in a row without rest & a new surprise awaits us in the morning ...

Unable To Listen Songs From My Raaga

Health, Equality, Fraternity

Operation blog this morning. It was 3-4 days late, must move on. Just in passing, we went to Tesco (supermarket brand britanniques qui marche très fort dans les pays de l'est) pour se faire un pur petit déj et recharger en barres de céréales et autres, le tout pour moins de 10e (la même chose en France, c'est minimum 25e).
Entre Tesco et le blog à l'auberge, vous aurez compris que nous n'avons pas été subjugués par les charmes de Bratislava. On se met donc tranquillement en route vers 15h pour une session vélo nocturne en direction de la frontière Magyar.
Âpres une sortie de Bratislava plutôt chaotique, nous découvrons une magnifique piste cyclable le long du Danube. On s'arrête pour faire nos besoins et une énorme péniche nous passe devant. On reprend les vélos avec la certitude, a 25-26km/h, de la rattraper facilement. Que nenni !! Impossible de lui récupérer un cheveu. On fait donc une fixette dessus pendant quelques km et quand enfin nous sommes parvenus a prendre le dessus, c'est qu'elle ralen-tissait pour s'installer dans une écluse.Une écluse énorme, où attendaient déjà 2 autres bateaux. Et là idées lumineuse de Thomas (sneaky) : 'et si on essayait de s'incruster sur l'un d'eux pour faire un bout de chemin'. Pas pour gagner quelques kilomètres, la piste cyclable était parfaite et suivait exactement le fleuve. Non, juste pour l'expérience, le délire !! Au bluff, Stéphane (Beady) request the crew of a ship in the German pavilion. After a little negotiable, it's OK! They are all Romanian and childhood friends from the same village: Octavian the master, the second Florian, Romeo and Juliet the mechanic (hahaha! In our defense, it was their joke). No, but Marcel, Phantom of the boat since it has not seen (2nd captain who officiates in staggered hours compared to the rest of the crew). The boat went up
Komarno, stack the place where we thought the night, was 50km away. On board, Sleeps 4 star: beer, coffee, visit the cockpit, leather sofa and armchairs, France 24 TV ...
And to top it off, the captain invites us to sleep there. We liaised with Tom for about 2 seconds and said "yes"! Option Cruise Super Plus: THE TOP!
is also the time where we decided to change our itinerary to add a country in our tour of Europe: Romania ...

From Vienna to Bratislava, Vienna

This morning, Tuesday, July 14, 2009, as French and proud of it, it was necessary to mark the time!! And it was ........ nothing! Apart from an early hymn to please have our lovely neighboring Canada. No, this morning, blog and my breakfast: orange juice, hot chocolate or coffee sandwiches and computer, it's gone!
Objective No. 2: coffee. You are aware that Vienna is famous for its art of coffee. So we walk into town to see the monuments that are at least as beautiful by day and night. A terrace in a busy street opposite a beautiful building , it was enough to seduce us. "The coffee menu please". FANTASTIC! 5 or 6 pages of coffees of all kinds, from the inside, the ability to carry a small bag in one of 36 types of grain available. Even someone who does not dote as Beady has been that popular. We cast our vested (is not) on an iced coffee, the Eiskaffee Wiener Walzer, a local specialty. And we returned to the hostel for the train to Bratislava (yes another one, the Slovak capital is only at 40km) was not expected.
From the border, we change the world. All the scars from the Soviet era have not disappeared. Large blocks of flats so Vitry-sur-Seine in the 80's, no reception at the station and nobody who speaks neither English nor German, but ... A brand new bike path that goes straight to downtown and to the youth hostel we were looking for: a rotten little besides the hostel. For the same price as that Vienna, but was really less. There are the basics: beds, a kitchen, showers and wifi.
We're leaving in the center in search of a typical restaurant. Bratislava has a very cute historic district, just like a pretty provincial town: the fountains, beautiful buildings and nice terraces. But this is not a European capital and you quickly realize that they will not spend the week. Rhythm
cycling requires, we went back to bed early at the hostel at a time when our roommates were preparing to leave Spain. It has not been seen 6 in the morning.
Tomorrow, Hungary and a nice surprise ...

Drinking Staics China

Ich verstehe nur Romantic

Our evening with Wolfgang had s'écourter because we had to reach Vienna as early as possible tomorrow. First
raised camping, first to breakfast, first to take off (7:30). In a place where all tourists are cyclists, c e is not negligible. We therefore
km downstream along the Danube, no time to linger. We must take advantage of freshness. The forecast 33 ° c for the afternoon.
short stop at Melk, a meal in a local inn to recuperate (indigestible by sneaky). From there we leave the Danube towards St-Pölstein. A total of 40km de collines et un soleil de plomb on ajoutera à tout ça une digestion hardcore. Mais on s'en est sorti.
Pour profiter un peu plus de Vienne, on décide de prendre un train (environ 50km). Autre avantage on du temps pour écrrire les articles du Blog. De plus cela nous évite l'entrée de cette grande ville à l'heure de pointe.
Arriver à la West Bahnof, on trouve de suite une auberge de jeunesse dans le quartier : très mignonne, chambres confortables, grands espaces de vie commune, safe pour les velos, wifi, en bref l'ideal.
Pas le temps de s'attarder, on sort de suite goûter une spécialité locale : le Schnitzel (le fish and Ships autrichien). Rien the extraordinary but it was tasty bite. To digest a small Vienna by night necessary. Vienna is truly sumptuous. After Paris is the most beautiful city we visited. Magnificent monuments, grand boulevards, beautiful lighting, beautiful terraces, banks of the Danube animation (a mix of beach and docks facing the BNF).
And that's where we made our meeting today: Dominic, and Andrew Martin.
Not one knew two hours earlier. They had shots all night and were completely buttered. Our discussion has mixed the European beers, political and wafers with hazelnuts Austrian ('want'). I do not remember everything but the Austrian beer is good. We'll stay in touch ... back to the inn and sleep ... Tomorrow is a national holiday.

Letter To Cancel Telephone Line

Bahnhof! Aaaaah

up early to avoid ending up with the whole neighborhood on the back (see article below), we stop in a small bakery and tearoom on the outskirts of Braunau.
first good news, the Austrians are also nice that the Germans: the baker gave us 2 croissants for the trip.
Another pleasant surprise: after a few kilometers, we come across a young English cycling is going to Istanbul (it's a little our way), named Noah. We already established plans on following the path, which would make all the Vienna road, but after a false-flat amount to about 10 km, we turn: More Noah! It has not kept pace and we could not wait, so we drew to Lindz ...
... and the Danube, as beautiful Austrian side that the German side, because less natural, more housing and industrial areas. Do not forget that the Danube is the busiest waterway d `Europe. It was a minute geo-economic item.
Truce of crap, qprès 155 km of cycling, we find a lil nice campsite, between the Danube and a pond in a quiet location, clean toilet facilities and a cafeteria that makes eating cheap, TOP!
By ordering 2 beers, I walk on the foot of a native, Wolfgang, with whom we immediately hit it off. Incredibly, in the middle of Austria, we met a funny guy who knows Blagoevgrad, our final destination in Bulgaria and also has a big Balkan culture. It was also an opportunity to learn a phrase which means that does not understand: "Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof", which means, to be exact: "The only thing that I capture is the station name Train. " On top of that Wolfgang gave us our first Schnapps: that happiness!
We just passed the 1000 km, Vienna tomorrow is ahead ...
