all the preparations are done, technical problems solved, sidepacks packed and ready;  bike oiled and extra waterbottles filled. a lot of people have helped me and that was fun already.

today there is an  article about the intent of my journey in der falter with a funny picture of the bike and me.... 

and a few hours later an editorail journalist of the newspaper 'die presse' gave me a call to ask if she could have an interview on the phone while i am on my way. im glad that the rumor of my journey spreads.

another funny incident happened today: two minutes past nine my phone rang, my good friend stepha asked where i am..... she was in währinger park and nobody else was there. when did i leave?  and then it began to dawn on her, that she was a day too early. so she came up to our flat and we had a very nice breakfast on the balcony. i will miss these moments with family and friends.
