Last day. Vienna euroCycle 2014

PAUL 


We will on the dark side of the moon until Friday 18/7/2014. We got everything packed ready for the trip. The last thing to do is seal lachlans bike correctly. The trip to the airport by courier was quick as was the train trip back. 


The Natural museum was open today. We were in the museum for 2.5 hours. The Venus Of Willendorf display was being renovated, so a temporary, poor display was set up in the meteor room. Not what I would have thought for such a big draw card. Anyway got a picture with the real Venus. Not as good as the Willendorf Museum, Willendorf. 


All exhibits were extensive. The recovered meteors we were much bigger than I expected. Those that were composed of steel displayed a great number of patterns of both thin strands and thick weaves to hold it together. Those that had been cut were highly polished and did not appear to be sealed and were free from corrosion


The "Welcome" piece of gold found in Ballarat was displayed and weighed 68.98 kg. 


The afternoon was spent getting snacks for the trip and sitting In Stadtpark. We had a beer and Pepsi in the cool of the shade. We got a picture of Lachy in front of J.Stauss at least a gold one.

Hi There Dudes, By the time you read this you will probably be back in Oz. What a fantastic adventure you have had. Bad luck about the Terror Bird being extinct, they look pretty cool.I heard our Drop Bears fixed them up. !!!!
Buy the way I would have paid the excess baggage on that Golden Rock if you had slipped it in your bag.
Welcome home, I know K & G will be glade you are back. All the best Michael XoXo
