Today was another rest day which means a ride out to the local area. Well local means two more countries - and why not when they are so close. So we rode to Austria to a previous Posse Rider's winery where we tasted wine and had lunch at a castle.
Camille and Davey were our leader and sweeper today. They did an amazing job (other than Fred and Betty missed a turn and were lost for the day) and took us on some great roads through small villages, farm country and grape country. The farm land we saw had sunflowers, corn and a number of other crops planted in small strips.
The wineries that we drove on very small roads were amazing to see. The roads were too small for me to ride and take pictures of as they were very curvy winding through the hills. When we arrived at our destination the small village in Austria was very excited to see all of us and people love taking pictures of all the Harley's. Our host was very generous allowing to taste four different kinds of wines from his winery. Everyone thought they were wonderful and enjoyed his yard where people took lots of pictures and viewed his wine cellar.
On the way back to the hotel we drove through Hungary and then back into Austria for a stop at a very nice cafe where we had coffee (hot chocolate of me). It is so nice that the borders are completely open other than you don't get all the stamps for your passport from each country.
Tonight the girls and I shopped (Chris and Connie) and I bought a pair of shoes. Supper was left over from lunch as there was way to much. Early to the room to relax and get organized for a ride day tomorrow.
