12 may
Yesterday there was a Headwind of 30 to 40 km per hour according to the news. Today it is is only 10 to 11. Doubt we could have made Grein yesterday. The wind direction and strength is to change on Thursday.
Up to the hill city with castle of Wallsee. We are now in Most country. Have seen some orchards but not nearly as many as we expected.
Grein is a small town situated on the water's edge and rising steeply well up past the castle. Our first choice hotel is uphill by car over 10. We found a good, very good, Gasthaus in the center. No net. No English TV. Good beer and food. Friendly. Perfect.
The rathaus was built in 1593 and the attached state theater, the oldest still standing in Austria was built in 1791.
The band is currently play Danke Schon, the Wayne Newton version according to QB. The band is local and plays each year on Fietsten Montag.
