A much easier day today, which still felt difficult on the back of yesterday. A bit of a climb early on (probably not very long really) really got the lactate going. Main observations about Austria so far - a lot more people say hello, and there are an awful lot of bike paths! We followed one for a long while into Klagenfurt, right by the railway. It's not the most exciting riding we've ever done, but at least it was fairly flat. Things were a fair bit prettier after Klagenfurt, and once again we were on a bike path for most of the journey. Very nice indeed, thanks Austria!

GPS fail today so no route, sorry.

We are camping at Reautschnighof, a stone's throw from the Rauschelesee - a smaller, prettier and even warmer lake than yesterday. The campsite is fairly small with terraced pitches and plenty of shade. And only 19 euros. Not really sure I understand campsite price fluctuations!

There isn't a huge amount around here - we shopped in Klagenfurt - thank goodness for our return to a country with plentiful Lidls :)
