The weather seemed to be changing today. After many dampish days in Vienna I was on the road at 9.00 am having now cracked the whole business of organisation and packing up. The drive was really good but for the fact that I got severely delayed on the road from Klosterneuburg to the motorway. It's only 25 miles, but it's on backroads through villages. I still didn't fancy the idea of trying to find the motorway by navigating through Vienna. Even coming back from the cemetery yesterday I got stuck in a loop and couldn't find the exit from the motorway to get back. There were three exits in very quick succession and you had to be in the correct lane - it wasn't straightforward, honest - and that was with GPS. Vienna is complicated. Unfortunately there was an enormous agricultural vehicle of some sort that took up the whole road and and was limited to 20 kph. It meant that it was 10.30 am before I got to the motorway to really start the journey.
However I have now arrived in Salzburg. The city is only 15 minutes on the bus. The surrounding area looks great - Sound of Music country - and I think I will stay here for 9 days and not bother with Innsbruck. I need to investigate the motorway from here that goes directly to Venice.
