So with all the rain and the river route Amazon of Europe probably very wet muddy I decided to go up to the city Graz for a couple days then see what options I had. Booked an air b n b near the city center a block from the river it turned out to be very nice. I was the first renter so there were a few loose ends still like there was no hot water how to turn on the water heater,,, but once that was solved it was a good stay.
Went to grocery got food for 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts at a Spar supermarket by the train station, you never saw so many bikes parked in these elevated racks and on the sidewalks… it was the only store open til 10m good thing i didn’t realize til 830 everything closed at 8, except for this one store, and it was busy.
So once i cooked dinner had a Radler and a good hot shower had a good nights sleep, slept a long time, tomorrow I’ll take it easy just ride around town figure out where to go from here.
Beautiful sites in the old city architecture, modern art, trams and people everywhere on bikes walking, a beautiful city with a vibrant buzz of youth and culture.
Well i thought rather than go south again to the Amazon of Europe tour i would take a train up to my original planned route the EuroVelo 6 Danube trail, but alas, the trains in Austria, owing to all the rain and snow in the mountains, and flooding and mudslides, train service was disrupted on many lines, some with bus replacement, which can’t carry bikes, and the national trail company ÖBB asked people to postpone all non-urgent travel until at least Friday Sep 20. So that’s out… now what?
Well I have another day/night here so no trouble get a good rest figure it out tomorrow.
