Vienna - Bratislava

Day 7: Vienna - Bratislava 76 km

Over the years, we have established this kind of rule of thumb while traveling: there is usually one shitty day a week... And after 6 cool days, day 7 was indeed pretty shitty.

Well it was not that bad but to sum up: we drove 20 km through the industrial zone of Vienna, 40 km on a straight dyke through a swamp forest and 10 km through bratislava's industrial zone and all that with very low temperatures... So that we could barely feel our feet at the end of the day. And it wasn't even possible to have a coffee on the way as in the only town, Hainburg, everything was closed... 

But Bratislava was a very nice surprise and cheered us up at the end of the day. The sun even came out around 4 pm. The old town was really nice with a lot of small cafés and bars. 

40 km on that dyke was very long!
