Life's a Stitch

September 10 – Krems on Der Doneau to Zwentendorf 27.84k (16.7 miles)

It was a quick and easy ride along the Danube to Zventendorf. With so little left in the trip we finally were able to adjust the handlebars perfectly. The Danube cycle path, catering to cyclists, has many places providing bike garages with charging facilities for e-bikes. We also passed a couple of tool stations.

As we arrived well prior to check in we went geocaching at the gate of the Romanian Cemetery for prisoners of war. One of the reasons I like geocaching, it brings you to interesting historical points of interest that you might not have taken the time to visit.

Lunch was next. I ordered the traditional “pancake” soup, a rich beefy bone type broth with strips of thin crepes. Comfort food.

Arriving at our pension, we were delighted to see a pool and took full advantage of it. The feeling of lightness in the water compensated for that heavy feeling on the bike.

We researched local restaurants and decided on one a couple of kilometres away. We were surprised it was just a snack shack on the bank of a swimming lake, with few menu choices, but a woman from Thailand made delicious food.
