Big waters, strong winds, and very hot sun. Mid 90s or 35 celcius. Two long days of paddling got is to Linz. Km marker 2129.
we stopped a lot for quick beers on the river and still ended up paddling 70 km!
We paddled through the night, with might, and stayed close to shore. The bar tender at the last town before sunset gave us 7 beers instead of 4. We drank a few and bullshitted for hours and we ended up at an elite Olympic training facility for Olympic rowing where Team Austria trains. I'll hold my judgements. But this place has has MONEY.
We slept in hammocks in their courtyard and drank beers in the morning. John got a new paddle, which is professional as hell. It took us 2 hours to get to Linz where we stay on a couch surfers couch.
Day 13 was amusing and odd. If we would have paddled the whole time and not stopped we could have easily covered 100km!
So thats good to know.
Tonight we relax and hope to meet nice people and maybe head out tomorrow for Vienna!
Word on the street is Bratslava is the place to be, and Vienna is for yuppies
