Linz to Grein

More blazing sun and cooling headwind today. Passed through an area full of apple and pear orchards this afternoon, which get made into the local cider called Most. Stopped at one of the Mostelries to try the strong clear cider. It wasn't up to much and tasted more like a ropey homebrewed wine than cider, but at least it kept our legs oiled. Seem to have stumbled on a campsite full of Brits in mobilehomes. At least the ones next to us are Northerners who used to cycle tour in their youth and have a Thorn tandem strapped to the back of their camper. Also means we can communicate with them well enough to beg some washing powder off them, so we might not pong quite so much when we get to the hotel in Vienna.
