Day 7: Tulln to Enns.

Early start today. I slept OK in the tent, despite waking up a few times due to neighbours talking in his sleep and turning on his air bed. Found a few bugs whilst packing up. I think there's one in the bottom of my handlebar bag still.

Set off at 6.22 in the dark and rode for a couple of hours or more before I managed to buy some breakfast.

Some very pretty scenery today. This was what I imagined it was going to be like, briefly.

 Hampered by a headwind all day though, blowing down the valley and slowly me down. Plenty of people cycling in the opposite direction, including a group from Sao Paolo, Brazil, who stopped for a chat.

Surprisingly the majority of cafes are already shut for the season, which made it tricky to find anywhere to eat. I eventually found a place open near Ybbs, but the old lady shouted at me for wheeling my bike up the wheelchair ramp. Bearing in mind I was the only customer I thought it was a bit OTT. I had visions of being locked in the basement for the next 20 years...

108 miles ridden today, the last ones dragged on somewhat. Especially as I had to get the Radfähre ferry across a tributary of the Danube to Enns. Fortunately he was very efficient and arrived in a few minutes. He also suggested a Gästehaus in Enns, so that was great.

I think a slow start might be in order tomorrow. Feeling pretty tired and nursing some saddle sores, so a bit of rest might help.
