After a lovely few days in Budapest with friends I’ve decided to take a break from the bike for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been very hot the last few days, and this is forecast to continue. I’ve also been getting pain in my wrist from holding the handlebars all day, so a change will hopefully do me good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, donning my finest luridly coloured linen jacket, and grabbing my trusty copy of Bradshaw’s, I’ve decided to do a bit of travel by train. Currently heading to Graz for the day, via Vienna, to cross the (UNESCO listed) Semmering mountain pass.<\/a> After that I’m heading to Ljubljana for a couple of days, which was highly recommended by my friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budapest has been lovely. Several trips to lakes and spas, including one spring fed lake where you could actually see the water bubbling up though the sand on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
