Renting bikes turned out to be quite the good idea because we saw so much of Vienna today. We probably saw most of Vienna pedaling our way around the city. One thing I really like about this city is entire lanes devoted to bikes, and pedestrians. Austrians are so fit because most people ride bikes, or walk everywhere do to these devoted lanes. I wish more cities in America had devoted, and very exclusive bike lanes. We biked all around this little island along the Donaukan River again strictly devoted to bikers and walkers. The whole loop is 21 kilometers long and absolutely gorgeous. It felt like we were int he country, yet we were still in the heart of the city. We saw people swimming in the river, as well as wind surfing and kiteboarding. Literally this city never stops be active! After that we road into the city centre and saw the Parliment building and Vienna University. We got a bit lost causing us to see a lot more of the city on the wheels of our bikes, which was nice. Jake and I road bikes for a good 5.5 hours! We cannot say that we biked around Europe, but we can say we biked around Vienna.
I am so tired today after our biking adventure. Tomorrow we are going to see the Palace, and Parliment building and then we hop on a train to Slovenia. Good night and good day!
