Today was perfect. We rolled into Vienna early evening with the whole crew plus more. It was a little tricky getting through the dam, though the side lake with a bunch of old people tanning/enjoying life in the nude, and then paddling through a gorgeous lake with hundreds of Austrians enjoys the water and sun, but we made it.
We stopped conveniently by a beach place for John to buy a new paddle, a good one. This ended up being a critical stop, as the kayak paddle seller guy told us of a great spot to store our boats for the weekend.
On the way down we met up with our friends from Germany paddling the river too, and everyone seemed to have a drink in their hand. We were only a few KM away so no harm no foul.
We took a train into the center of Vienna, and decided to sing country songs the whole way. Most of the train people clapped, and an Asian man named Son even put us on YouTube.
We all tried to stick together after we got off the bus, but after a bottle of champagne and a long taxi ride to a hotel with no luck, we all kind of split up. John and I grabber a cheap hotel, but it had 3 beds for 60 bucks. Not so cheap to me.
We took bikes to the center but everything was dead. We saw the big cathedral thing and it was glorious.
Time for bed, tomorrow's gonna be a fun one!
