Another Tally Gal Arrives!

September 2, 2023

Exploring the Altstadt

Today the fifth Tally Gal arrived after a LONG trip from the US. We also explored the old town some more as well as the Hofburg gardens, sampled some Apple strudel and sampled some more gelato. Then we met the tour company representative and picked up our e-bikes for the next bike tour.

The Inn River, we walk along the river to get from our hotel to the old town

Along the river there is a bike and pedestrian path and in that park there are three ping pong tables that were almost always in use, how cool!

Took some time out in the shade to catch up and have some cold drinks

Today as part of the festivities in the old town a band played and women in Dirndls handed out tastes of Schnapps. Oooh! Goodness, it burned all of the way down! One of the women had a small wooden keg with a spigot that she used to pour the schnapps into a tiny pewter goblet.

Not sure, but it doesn’t look like she likes it very much….

An Austrian band played lots of lively music for the crowd that gathered.

We wandered the streets of the old town and saw lots of interesting buildings

There are lots of folks on bikes here and lots of places to park bikes

This evening we picked up the bikes we will be riding for this next bike tour. We tried them out and made any necessary adjustments to the seats etc. We all have bright shiny red bikes, hope they ride as nice as they look…. We also had an information session with a representative from the bike tour company to help us get started on the right track.

Tomorrow morning we will get on our bikes for the first day of our trip from Austria to Italy through the Dolomites.

Today's ride: 1 mile (2 km)
Total: 517 miles (832 km)
