Wallsee to Oberegging

After pulling into a hotel selling a large range of garden decorations from gargoyles, to a 3 piece dragon, I was expecting the room to be mediocre but it was nice and had a brilliant night sleep. While the sleep was great the breakfast wasn't to crash hot and we said we'll stop at the next town for coffee/hot chocolate and a cake. We set off and found it almost impossible to believe that we were doing 23-26km/h with little effort. We got to a town named Grein and had a cake and a small ride around. We got on a ferry to cross the river and some 50 year old man was hitting on 3 late 30 early 40 year old women. 

We then rode for a few more kilometres looking for a place to cook lunch. We found a place to cook, got everything set up but then we said where are the matches!? 5 minutes later at the bottom of dads pannier we found them!! Thank god because I didn't want to be carrying half a kilo of sausages around for another day☺. We headed off and went to our motel. It is TOPS. It was only a 40km trip today but tommorow we head off to the benedictine abbey at melk and will enjoy that a lot.
Enjoy winter -Lachlan

I thought we could cook at the guest house last night so we rode to the shops to get food. We couldn't cook as it turned out. Whilst at the shop with a fuel bowser an Austrian came out and told us in German/Austrian there was no fuel and killed himself laughing, and went back inside telling his story to all in the shop. He and his wife spoke to Lachlan while I was shopping. After I finished we had an ice cream outside when the shop owner came out and gave us 4 sachets of rubbing oil for sore muscles and bodies. Very nice!

Out top hotel is called 'Top Hotel'. Lachy's funny

So you don't really know if the shop owner was making fun of you? At least he gave you free stuff!
If you're finding it so easy to ride at a decent speed you must be pretty fit - you'll probably miss the daily rides when you get back!
