Hello all !
I hope this email finds you well.
I am hunkered down in NW Austria in a youth hostel. I
tried to cross the Czeck border to the north but they
are allowing no one in the country until the worst
flooding in 100 years abates. The region south of
Prague is impassable and they evacuated 50000 people
form the Old Twon section of the capital city.
I was drenched while I crossed Austria. Some areas of
the country are a real mess. For me this is a
temporary frustration. The locals are overwhelmed
while they watch their lives float down the river.
So as you watch the international news do not worry
about me. If the rain does not stop I will cycle south
to the Danube and follow it through Vienna and into
Budapest. This route is no hardship. I could wait for
Scott in Budapest.
I miss you all and I will see you soon,
Dennis
