The bank is on Bank Street.
Seems logical to me.

Hotel details: Gasthof Wachaerhof-Teufner, Wiener Strasse 30, 3390 Melk, Österrerich

Distance cycled: 33 miles (cumulative total: 151 miles)

There's two parts to today's cyclemeter map:

  1. Down the hill from the hotel to Grein itself
  2. Along the South bank from Grein to Melk. This map isn't quite complete and the overall time is dead wrong because jPhone 4's battery ran out just before we reached Melk.
I'm writing this in the courtyard of tonight's hotel because, despite it being nearly 10pm, indoors is stickily warm. This might be to do with the washed cycle clothing hanging in our room and humidifing the atmosphere. 

What do I remember of today?
