Day 2




- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
We picked up the bikes today from the HD dealer in Munich. The guy I had been dealing with via email was there to help us get set up. As it was really raining pretty good when we arrived, he brought the bikes into the showroom to allow us to load our luggage in the dry area.
Off we went amid pouring rain and headed for the autobahn.
We had one dry spell on the way where we could pick up the speed, but most of the trip was in heavy rain.
The GPS was protected with a Ziploc bag, but by the time we got to Salzburg it was steamed up,we spent about an hour going the last 3 miles!We checked in at the hotel and then walked down town.
We found a "Stube" where we had a couple of brewskis, this is a very attractive city even allowing for the rain.
I found the hotel where I would bring Madame should we visit together.
Check out the Hotel Bristol in Salzburg.


I have to give Jeff full points on two counts:
1) He is the loudest snorer I have ever heard, I can hear him from the next room.
2) He is willing to test his little bit of knowledge of the German language at every turn, the people we have met have been very encouraging. Even tonight in the hotel where we had dinner, the waiter understood what Jeff meant when he said "Donkey Smell"

Tomorrow is a longer ride, we head from Salzburg to Emmersdorf, which is almost to Vienna.




What we did not realize was that we had a stowaway on board!
El Leopardo likes HD rides and decided to come along.
He was only discovered when I unpacked my bag in Munich, of course he has his passport with him so it was no big deal.






Jeff doesn't look too happy, but I think that it was just a bad picture.
