Grein to Krems

A hot muggy sticky day. Dark thunderclouds chasing us all day, which we managed to keep behind us. Put the tent up just in time before spots of chubby rain started to fall. This quickly turned into an almighty downpour with thunder and lightening crashing directly overhead. We sat in the tent marooned on our thermarests watching the water gradually puddle in the awnings and creep inwards and under the tent. The HubbaHubba did us proud though and remained dry whilst the tent next door to us was ripped from all but one peg by the wind and snapped a pole. Once the storm subsided we found our neighbours attempting to dry their saturated belongings. Luke fixed their tent pole with some of our precious duct tape, again we were rescuing Americans.

True Grit, the spirit of the blitz and all that. International rescue never had a finer twosome.
