After two hours riding in the rain, it is time for a coffee. At the Serways in
Irschenberg Sud on the A8 autobahn I have a cappuccino and a croissant and in the
shop I buy the "autobahnvignet" for Austria. In Austria you have to pay to use
the autobann. I bought a vignet for ten days, the shortest period the have.

At a quarter past twelve, I wanted to fille the tank again so I stopped at
Autobahntankstelle Bad Reichenhall Sued in Pidding.

An hour later I was in Austria already and I stopped again for a coffee at Raststation
Lindach Süd. The weather is getting much better now.

At almost three o'clock I fill my tank at the Agip Service Station Kemmelbach on the
A1 to Vienna. I also buy a cola/redbull mix and I get
a cappuccino in the restaurant (Autogrill Austria).
Near the entrance of the restaurant is a Cocacola room, in the style of the 60s. Very nice !

Just a few minutes past four, I see the little village Ollern where I will stay for two
nights. It is a very nice small village.

When I arrive at the hotel, s´Wirtshaus Gasthof the door is closed. I call the owner and a few
minutes later, my bike is in the garage and I'm drinking coffee with the owner.

From my room I have a nice view on the central square and the church.

I have dinner (goulash) and a beer in the cafe downstairs and the I go to my room. I think
I'll go to bed early. Tomorrow I have breakfast at eight and then I'll go to see Vienna.

This morning I had breakfast in the cafe before I got the bike out of the garage and at
half past eight I left to ride to Vienna. An hour later, I parked the bike at "Prater"
the park with the "Riesenrad". I had to wait for half an hour before the Riesenrad opened
for the public so I first bought a cappuccino at the restaurant by the Riesenrad but after
drinking my cappucinoe and a litle more waiting, I had a great ride in the Riesenrad of
Vienna with a spectaculair view over the city.

The view is breathtaking
I had parked the bike on a bicycle parkingspot but when I asked a policeman if that was OK he
told me it was not allowed. On the bright side, I could park on any place between the parked cars
and for bikes you don't have to pay a parking fee.
Because I had to move the bike anyway, I decided to ride to the center. Finaly I parked the bike
in front of a big government building.
I asked at the reception if it was OK to park my bike there and they showed me a place where
motorcycles were allowed to park.
Finaly I had a good place to park the bike
