Great, we’ve finally got moving again. We hopped on a train this morning – another new mode of transport to add to my collection! Unfortunately, we didn’t get too far. We’d only been on the train about 15 minutes when we were told that we had to get off and take a bus because the tracks are being repaired. Using public transport in Austria isn’t always easy.

I am not a happy camper. In fact, I am not a camper at all. We are back in Austria with no car, no caravan, no bikes and no sign of getting them back for a good while yet. I’m stranded on my sill again! Hang on a minute. The intrepid Oldies have maps spread out all over the flat and are tapping away furiously on the computer.

Even if we had driven there, parking might well have been a challenge, seeing as catering for vehicular traffic…

Nice looking chicks though, and they seem to be quite taken with me. Apart from my dashing good looks, I think that part of the attraction must be the sexy French accent I acquired during all those years in the Dordogne. I’ve just had a…
