DAY 11 (MAY 12-SAT) KREMS TO VIENNA, AUSTRIA  9:00 TO 4:30

Today is longest day so far–50 m.  Put on short sleeve jersey because it’s been so warm.  Eat breakfast w/Jean-she is going to bike on other side of Danube.  Go outside for a shock–rainy & cold–back inside & put on rain gear.  Visit nothing in town–bike path is very nondescript today.  Only excitement came when we crossed a damn & took turn to 10 ft metal gate–Armand went to the phone & said OPEN THE GATE!  Voice ???? & Armand–ENGLISH–OPEN.  The gate opens & we realize we should NOT be here-Power Plant.  A yells at me-the gate is closing–I barely get out.  I know they had us on video-can’t believe they let us in.  We stop in Tulln thinking to be tourist–go to flower park–it’s too cold to pay 22 Eu to walk around.  Back on trail-again just doing KM.  Rt signs stop when we get to island going to Vienna–stop & watch 15 little sailboats practicing in the wind.  Come to end & find HARLEY DAVIDSON rally & exhibits w/rock band singing in English.  Take 2nd picture today of me sitting on Harley (30,000 Eu)–1st was Pied Piper leading rats out-of-town.  My leader is so good–found hotel–best one yet because it has a BATH TUB–soak for 30 min.  A mall is right in front of motel–find food court-eat hamburger & burritos at the Saloon.  Jean is going to eat as we are going in–will see you at Breakfast..  Am so tired–go to bed at 8:30–couldn’t finish this post..
