(51 miles on Satuday: Melk - Tulln
20 miles on Sunday: Tulln - Wien)
i LOVE overnight shelters with gratis frühstück! especially in germany/austria, because i love their breakfast sandwich things SO MUCH, they are so delicious. so we had some free breakfast, then laid around outside for half an hour before the ~egon schiele museum~ opened. i have probably read it a thousand times, but i didn't realize that where i was SLEEPING was the same town that egon schiele slept in. i wish i knew it earlier so i could get all hot and bothered by that for longer, but oh well. the museum was small and they didn't have a lot of his, in my opinion, really great work (it's all at the leopold!), but they had a lot of precious little baby pictures of him and his sisters. aww. also an awesome drawing of a train he made when he was nur 10 Jahre alt. wow! it breaks my heart he died when he was just 28.
although we were still very sore from the previous day's 50 miles, we headed down the path toward wien. this path was also kind of boring. just straight flatness, river on one side, trees on the other. not open enough for me i guess. we got back easier than i expected, and went for a european-style swim in the Donaukanal. which was awesome. we passed some really awesome graffiti (and i'm not a fan of the graffiti style, but i could appreciate the craft of these) and eventually got on the U-Bahn at Spittelau. That's pretty much the end of that trip. I took photos, but they are on film.
that night, we went to a big restaurant at the Prater because Anne can't stop talking about Schweinstelze. that was an intense "meat asteriod", which is what they tell me i called it, but really delicious. i don't think i'd order it ever if i was my choice alone, but i'm glad i tried it! ~experiences~
