Meng

I had a good rest today. The highlight was meeting my friend Meng. She came to pick me up at my hotel in the morning and we spent the day together until she had to catch the train to work at 2pm. Thank you again for the great food, the good conversations and the lovely walks through Vienna, dear Meng, it was a pleasure to see you again.

In the afternoon, I went to buy various things, e.g. a waterproof bag for my sleeping bag - the plastic bag I had been forced to use already had several holes in it, lucky that it hadn't rained up to this point. I also bought provisions and two more bottle cages for the bike, so I now have six.

I realised again today how many great people I have in my life. I am very grateful for that. So thank you to everyone who now feels addressed ;-). Now I want to go to bed early to be well prepared for the long journey I have planned for tomorrow.
