Too scruffy for Mozart
So lovely to wake up and know we don´t have to pack up the tent! I lazed around in bed while Mikey (best husband in the world) cooked us fried egg sandwiches and made coffee in the rain. By 11, it had stopped raining and we pedalled 3 miles into town to ...

Mountains for two
... a sit down and a large cup of coffee. We decided not to stay another night in Innsbruck so we loaded the bike and headed towards Salzburg. It was just on 5 o'clock and the weather was closing in so we rode for only an hour. We reached Worgl, found the ...

Mozart Mania
I was not planning to stop in Salzberg until 5 mins before the train pulled in. I jumped off and called the hostel to see if they had room for me, and as luck would have it, they did. So Salzberg it is. And I am so glad. It is so clean and cozy here. I ...
