Friday, Aug. 26 - 300 km to Tulln, Austria on the Danube





Our longest drive to date - 300 kilometers mostly on an autobahn after leaving our farm CG, passing through a few small towns, Salzberg outskirts and onto an autobahn.  Our RV is running very nicely, smooth and quiet and comfortable.  Bob says it drives nicely.  Filled up with diesel at 1.30 euros per liter.

This mini plastic machine washes and spins; add water by dumping in buckets; drain on the ground
Arrived in camp about 4; washed some laundry in a bucket Mexican style) but if I can post some pictures, you will get a huge surprise and chuckle out of a washday miracle!  It is somewhat less humid here (but still hot) so laundry was dry by night.  Another dinner out - a delicious steak, potatoes, and more apfel struedel.  The waiter gave us a choice of medium or medium well done; he was astounded that most people wanted it rare.  It was nicely done (rare or medium rare) to our taste and delicious.  Now if Europeans would make iced tea, all would be well.  At least in Germany and Austria, a good "American" cup of coffee is served.

  1. Hi, Joan and Bob,
    I have posted some comments but aren't sure if they really are posted. Do you see them? Great reading the daily accounts of your travels and seeing pictures. All the ones since picking up your RV came in tonight (Sat. 8/27). The East coast is in the midst of a category 1 hurricane after a 5.9 earthquake in VA last week. We felt the tremor here as did others up and down the coast. The big fears now are flooding and long power outages from high winds and heavy rains. We've had the most rain this August ever BEFORE the hurricane plus it's a full moon enhancing the tide. Glad you are having a grand adventure. Keep posting and looking for comments. Charlie
