Start into a honeymoon of the special kind!

We have been looking forward to our honeymoon for weeks - or rather months - already. After years of hard work, we decided to take a few weeks off to dissolve our rental apartment. Thus we were open for new adventures and paths. So in the last weeks we had not only prepared our wedding and celebrated it extensively (thanks again to all of you who were involved!), but also to all of you who had been involved. You know, it was a dream wedding for us :-)!), but also cleared out our apartment. We can recommend both activities as very good fitness training for a bike trip - especially if you are as serious as Matthias and prepare for the wedding with a daily build-up training and live on a 4th floor without elevator. After wedding celebrations, intensive settling and professional action, we started on Monday July 9th at 11.00 a.m. from John & Giulia (Thank you very much that we could stay the last nights in Graz with you!) along the Murradweg to Trofaiach, Matthias hometown. Right on the first day we broke our cyclist principles: “Let it go on slowly the first day”, we countered with 94 km and 600 altitude meters. In addition a dragging front brake costed us unnecessary energy. But we hardly had a choice, because we had planned a surprise: In the next 4 days we still had a lot of kilometers and altitude meters ahead of us, because we wanted to arrive in Linz on Friday evening to welcome Matthias sister and family at the airport on Saturday in the morning. They would withdraw from the Brexit and move back from England to Austria.
