Saturday, Aug. 27 - bus tour of Vienna; lunch near amusement park

Sunset along the Donau (Danube)
Our feet were happy to rest on a wonderfully air-conditioned bus tour of Vienna.  I forgot to say that after last night's dinner, we all walked home (25 min) along a bike and pedestrian path along the bank of the Danube.  Lots of people out strolling and biking in the evening after the hottest day of the year here.  Some caravanners saw a sign on Thursday reading 39 degrees Celsius.  : ( 

The Danube is a clean river at least until it leaves Austria. Pollution controls are in effect in Germany and Austria, so many many people swim in it.  After leaving Austria, there is more pollution.


While we were returning to our CG, the weather suddenly changed.  A storm is blowing in to break the heat wave.  Everyone is glad.  Now it is raining.

Tomorrow we drive about 290 kms. into Hungary and camp just south of Budapest where we spend 3 nights I think.
Sorry about the typos, but  we're on the clock.
