The hills are alive...

Since leaving the riverside paths in Bratislava, we have been crossing the eastern edges of the Alps. This has meant a lot more climbs. Thankfully, the first month of cycling has given us the strength and stamina for them.

Climbing certainly slows us down (to about 6 km/h, not much faster than walking), but we're rewarded by amazing vistas and we make us some of the speed on the way back down...
