Vikings take me for a bike ride.

 Before we went to our respective activities, Robert took an apple out of my room, cut it with a fingernail file and fed it to the teenaged swans. If the cygnet got too greedy, Dad would come over and bite him/her on the butt so mom could get a bite. The little brownies won't turn completely white until their second summer. 

First thing this morning, the poop suckers come so we guests are not assaulted by the sights, sounds and smells. Tata thinks it might take 3 or 4 trucks per ship. They were efficient and quick. It was a revolving door of trucks in front of the three ships at dock.

Bike time! I was a little scared, but I did it. We had 10 in our group plus a viking guide in the front and the bike owner in the back. We had a short tutorial on how to manage the bells and whistles and were off.

 Right after this picture, our guide warned us we would be entering a bike path where bikers would be very fast and very angry. We were to make sure we stayed to the right. The first oncoming biker that came our way looked us right in the face and said F---Y--! Lol, Austrian bikers are serious and must not appreciate the small groups of oldsters new to e-bikes.

We were also warned we'd be traveling through a nudist beach area, We'd know when we got to the area when we got to a sign FKK (?). We were admonished sternly to keep our eyes on the path, and if there were any crashes he would know the reason why. If there were no crashes, we'd be rewarded with a local lemonade or raspberry lemonade. No one crashed, Tata and I were treated to a nude man each but I only made a cursory glance. Rating: 6 (tan but flabby)

We crossed the Danube on a ferry.

And crossed it back again on a bridge.

One last picture before I almost ate asphalt going down a circular path to get off this bridge. Like the slides at McDonalds. That steep, that tight of a radius. The sweet viking behind me kept encouraging me, "slow, steady, you can do it, keep your eyes to the left" and gave me a knuckle bump at the end.

There was another bike ride today through the vineyards, one of our fellow passengers got side swiped by a very angry very fast rider. She is back on ship, the other guy walked away too, so both are lucky.
