On Wednesday, I went on a 34 kilometer (about 20 miles) bike ride from Melk to Krems. We left Vienna at 7:30am and first went to Melk and saw the Baroque monestary. It is so beautiful with its libraries, royal living quarters, and church. The church is amazing with tons of gold decorating every part of it.



So we then went to the start of the ride and got our bikes. It started to down pour right when we got our bikes. Luckily I had prepared for rain but I really didn't want to ride in the rain. The trail goes right along the Danube River and through small Austrian towns with beautiful vineyards and castles. But when we finally took off the rain stopped and it turned out to be a perfect day for a bike ride not being too cold or too hot. I took my time enjoying the scenery taking lots of pictures along the way. We had lots of fun exploring and eating the grapes off the vine from the vineyards! We also stopped at some churches and castle ruins. It was so beautiful to be out of the city and enjoying a slower pace of life and nature! I kept singing Sound of Music--the part when they are riding bikes....When you you know the notes to sing you can sing most anything! For lunch, Brittany and I stopped at a restaurant and got Wienerschnitzel!

It was so good and I haven't had it yet so I was so happy. Then we found this amazing park that would never be allowed in the States because of the potential lawsuits because it is so unsafe making it so much fun! It had ropes going up to different levels, a zip line, and tire swings.
So by the end of the bike ride my legs and backside were killing me....I don't know how bikers bike for so long! I would need a big pillow seat for the Tour De France. Well, probably more like a recliner on wheels!

Brittany! I can't believe you went back! I am so jealous! How is it? Do you feel like you know everything or what? That would be a good feeling. That was the worst..not knowing where anything was and so on! You are a pro! How exciting! Who is the director? It isnt Prof. Keele right?
