Linz

Its another great day in Austria. The weather has made a drastic change for the better, and it has added to the enjoyment of our day off here in Linz.

This is the biggest city we have been in since Paris, and its a nice change from the many small towns we travelled through in Germany.

The Danube Cycleway was all paved on yesterdays ride into Linz, and it was one of the more scenic days on the Tour so far. The Danube is now a wide river pushing its way east towards the Black Sea.

Our lunch spot yesterday was right at trailside, next to a small ferry dock that shuttles cyclists back and forth to the north and south bank of the Danube. The pictureesque spot was enhanced by the weather and a light breeze that came off the Danube.
