Feeling the love …

Buzzzz …. I spent a half hour this morning swatting mosquito’s in the room … I had the window open last night without the fine curtains … no mossies for me tonight. No fly screen in Europe.

A nice sunny day top of 30C.  Off to the lake (Klopeiner See) an easy flat 5km, equipped with bathers, also seeing more devastation from the recent rains and also hail in July. Tall trees just crippled from the roots?

First up to the tourist office. The wonderful staff set us on the right path (mind the pun).  We spoke to the regional manager and he was able to give us up to date info of the cycle path closures. They are certainly on top of the getting everything fixed.  Sooo many cycle paths.

Now to the lake, but not before John has another puncture … it looks like he twisted the tube in the first repair … ugh!! He’s becoming a bit of a liability … it’s only 3 weeks!

Hotels and forms of accommodation take up the lakeside for private bathing.  Grassed areas and small jetties fill the lakes edge adorned with umbrellas and deck chairs.  People enjoying the water with stand up paddle boards etc.

There are some other private areas where you have to pay and there was a free area where we went swimming.  The temperature was  pleasant 20C and not ice cold, it can get up to 29C this is what attracts so many to this area for sure.

A great evening at a laser show … and riding 5km home at 10.30pm … John quietly S%#tting himself that we may get lost.
