Austria

Timed my arrival in Austria to perfection, with the first falls of snow welcoming me to this lush, visually stunning country. A week earlier I was riding my bike in 25 degree heat - it has been a trip of extremes. Stayed with Hermann and Marion near Salzburg for 2 nights and they gave me the 'Austrian experience'. They live in the lakes district of Austria, surrounded by huge mountains and green fields. I have made the transition from Pizza and Pasta to Wienner Schnitzel and Milka chocolate very quickly, a welcome change of diet.
