Bruges, Berlin and Vienna

Actually I just went out for a drink but the waitress said, ''are you here for the applewiine?'' so I had some. I don't like wine and I don't like cider- it was never going to be a winner...

Salzburg was also lovely if very touristy. It seemed busy after Bruges. More cars, less bikes. The main part is up against a cliff face. You can get an elevator from the Museum der Moderne to the top: return or one way if you're thinking of topping yourself (or making your own way down with your feet). There is quite a lot of little-visited woodland at the top and a few houses. Very quiet and restful -except when you walk along a path to the edge of the cliff and find yourself looking down on the cab of a crane... Very picturesque, great views. I went to my only museum of the trip: the museum of children's toys, musical instruments, cameras, model trains and Struwwelpeter or something. It was okay.

Some pics from Salzburg:

Bit of a disappointment that almost everything was closed on Sunday but I reckon I've drunk my weight in beer and also eaten my weight in chocolate

What is the deal with the thousands of bikes parked at Bruges station....it was shit loads...i'll upload some pics later ....if I can get it to work

They cycle a lot.

Part of what I loved about it. Cycles outnumbered cars 3 to 1 or something mad.


Helps being flat.
