4 OCT - Left at 09:40 after saying goodbye to Dave. He's heading for Spain and after today we'll be heading to Berlin, then up to Northern Denmark before heading for France, etc.
I wanted to nick the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary before getting to Austria so our 295 mile day turned out to be a 424 mile day with riding in five countries. Gives you an idea as to the size of these countries.
Anyhow, the highlight of the day was getting pulled over by the Austria Highway Police just after leaving Vienna. Sara said 'You shouldn't have passed them'. My reply, 'I was 2 clicks under the 125Km posted speed limit'. They stopped us because they both ride motos and wanted to see the Beemer. Once we told them about our ATW we ended up having a long chat including the trip plans for one of them that is going to Florida for three weeks in November.
We banged out the miles easily because of the 80 mph speed limit. Got to our hotel in Melk at 17:00.
