BRATISLAVA - SLOVAKIA DAY 138 826 km. and VIENNA -AUSTRIA DAY 139 114 km.

Konrad insisted on making me breakfast before I left at 7am. Scrambled eggs and cheese and bread and then a slice of apple pie and two Cuppucianos and much appreciated. 

    Slovakia border on Route 66.

    Konrad and Marzenka are superhosts.
    King Konrad got me travel insurance at 9pm on a Monday night, where else in the world can you get that done.

    Zakopane

Went straight down south to Zakopane and then around the Tatra mountains and to SlovakiaMoto Camp for the night, except they were closed for the season. Was already five o clock but decided to bolt to Bratislava another 140 km away but had two hours left before sunset. The Slovaks aren't very slow, they fly by you in the fast lane all day long, so different to Poland. So you dare not daudle in the fast lane cause they will ride your ass. Got to the hostel in the dark and didn't care to much for the characters there so found another hotel across town where I ventured to and went out for a bite and a beer then collapsed into bed. 

    Moto Camp closed.

     Sausage and mustard with horse radish.

Luckily I didn't know at the start of the day I was going to go that far, was a long day but luckily all mostly on freeways so went by quickly, well twelve hours on the bike, but wasn't that bad and I had rested well in Warsaw which helped.

BRATISLAVA TO VIENNA   DAY 139   114km.

Went to BMW in Bratislava but they couldn't help me so shot over to Vienna BMW where they were able to take a look at my left front fork that was leaking oil. They could not determine where the oil was coming from as the seal were good and the shift was not cracked so another mystery. 




Tomorrow they will change my head bearing and front wheel bearings and then I will head to Salzburg for the nigjt and then to Augsburg for the big party. Am at a small hostel in a private room, clean and organized but have to leave my bike on the street but it's right outside my window. Walked to the Old Town and spent an hour there and walked back which took an hour. 

    Vienna sausage is a must (tard) when in Vienna.
