VOL II (On the road again, Innsbruck 2 Wien)

A nice sunny day to travel and it got warmer as the day churned.

I have been to Vienna so many time that I lost count, and I know the city well, but sometimes in being in a rush one selects a hotel that is a bad choice; I rest me case on that one.

I booked a room at a section in Vienna that looks like the Austrian version of Brooklyn or The Bronx.  I goofed up, but hell I'll make lemonade from a lemon.

It's a noisy section where all I hear is motorbikes and people yelling. I can't wait to get out of here.

The room is too hot and I can't control the heat or lack thereof. The staff at hotel are essentially dead from the neck upward.

Here then are the piccies along the way.

 The Opel car I rented for the trip, a real nice, comfy, and eay vehicle to drive long distances; quick pickup as well. Great petrol mileage.

 Think Austria, think mountains or Julie Andrews.

WTF were these whack jobs thinking of and who was in charge of the adverts? Is the KKK alive and well in Austria? Shame, sopho-moronic, and stupid.

 A real cool rest station along the way in Austria.

 It sure looks like a skull to me.

 A little cutie, I miss my Einstein!

 I just entered Germany on the Autobahn for a while and as one can see from the GPS do dah there is just the speed indication and no speed limit, on the Autobahn, cars were flying by me at 150 miles per hour and more. I felt like an old granny doing 90 to 100 mph.

 I'm sure my son David remembers this spot, where we had car trouble back in 2007 on our way to Graz Austria for a university meeting at University of Graz.

 My favourite rest stop in Austria, outside of Salzburg. I
 went through Austria then into Germany and back into Austria along the route.

 You should see the bloke sittin' in it! HUGE! Fella.

 Vienna at last or part of it at least.

 The hotel car park.

 I'm in the far inside spot at the very end, inside.

 The hotel room, the bed is like a rock slab.

 This isn't the Vienna I like, the city centre is about a 20 minute walk from here. Wow did I goof up this time.

 This little kitty cat was perched in a screened window across the street from my window on the 5th floor.

I will get some rest then go out and about on the morrow

taking piccies and getting post cards to send, plus trinkets.

I'm too tired to change hotels and I'm not going to be here that long so I will make do with the dah.

Signing off from Wienershnitzel Land,

I miss my two British traveling companions Kirstie and April,

those cute little hitch hikers. :)
