After 5 days of riding, its good to get a rest day. Vienna is baking hot though, and mostly closed, so there's not a lot to do.
Slept it late (8am!) and then took a streetcar to the laundromat. Did laundry, checked the internet, and then took the tube to the old city and went for lunch. There were Eurocup fans everywhere – mostly Spanish. They had painted faces and club jearsies on, and were cheering and chanting in red and yellow mobs that drifted up and down the pedestrian malls.
We walked around a bit, went into an old church, and had a big ice cream sundae before heading back to the hotel. We even found a pharmacy and a bookstore that were open, so I picked up a few things.
Will update this blog at the internet cafe this afternoon, and then relax before getting back in the saddle again tomorrow.

Quite the photos...and quite sobering!
Del and I attended Jennifer Mallett's wedding last evening. Alison was a bridesmaid, and a beautiful one at that! The weather co-operated and the outdoor ceremony was pleasant.
Your Mom and Dad are away on vacation for one further week.
