AUSTRIA - FREISTETT, GERMANY. 370km DAY 312 & 313. 25 OCTOBER 23

Left Oekotel in Hohenems, Austria at 7:30am and it was still dark. Took a route on the secondary roads which was a mistake because it took way longer and was in the rain for hours. Really battled with navigation as my phone screen was wet and it would not work properly, just a nightmare and finally arrived at 3:45pm, cold and wet.

Staying with Reinhard who I met in Romania and it's a few kilometers from the French border near Strausburg. Had a tasty home cooked meal which his wife Regina prepared and it was so good and even had ice cream for desert.

DAY 313    NEW TYRE & VISIT STRAUSBERG

Went to Reinhard's tyre shop and he put on a used ture on my front and balanced the wheel and thoroughly inspected the wheel and spokes because of all the punctures i have had, but all looked good.

In the afternoon we got the tram into Strausburg and walked around the old part óf town with the beautiful old German houses and buildings. 

We then stopped at a restaurantand had a Tarte Flambee and Picon beer and got the tram back at sunset.
