22 May
Almost finished with the Vienna portion, a comment made with mixed
feelings. I liked Vienna, mostly for the atmosphere and architecture. Good
city to roam but am ready to get back on the road and see the smaller
locals. Much of the rest of the trip is yet t be planned but the next
stage is decided as we have tickets.
Train to Dresden, then bike Berlin via the Elbe and other routes. Then
from Berlin to at least Hamburg or possibly Cuxhaven before turning South
for the final legs.
The eeePC has been a real pain. Continual problems with their disk space
management. Reporting errors that are not real and then requiring me to
unplug all devices, remove the battery and reboot – all compliments of an
excellent eeePC user forum. Have used only about 12% of the alloted space
but cannot often remove or save files. May well be out of iodes as well.
The net connection, at least for me, has been working well on the eeePC so
that part is a plus.
Just put up three days of pictures on the flickr site. Has taken me three
days to get the eeePC to the state that I can again upload; more problems
are expected as I do not believe I have fixed the root problem – nor have
others.
The pics are not in the order that they were taken (I did not fuss with the
photo uploader ) so Vienna is two to three screens in. Have attacked a few
just as examples.
Off to a great breakfast in the hotel, then to museums and palaces and
cafes. Last night, pic included, George purchased the original Sacher
Torte from Sacher as well as the the one from Dremel (see google for the
story of their decade long legal battle over where the apricot should go,
under the frosting or between the layers, and who gets to use the word
original).
