Austria & The Alps Day 1 - 2130


The Mercure hotel in Friedrichsdorf is classed 4* and it is very comfortable.

Learned that Erdinger weiss beer only comes in half litres. After a short walk into the town centre we found very few restaurants and so we ended up in a Hungarian restaurant.

Another thing is the Lakeland vacuum bags are very good but a fiddle to pack.

Today's mileage about 350. 

With "Doris" (the Garmin) losing the satellites every few minutes it's hard to tell if we came the right way all the time; the detour through a seedy part of Brussels certainly was "off route"!












NB. All the "Day nn" posts will be sent using the GPRS email service on my 02 phone and so I will edit them when I get home and add any pix. ta.
