Saturday 6th September

We departed from the hostel in the morning, and called at the post office for mail – none!  I then obtained some Yugoslav currency from a bank in the city, and we caught a couple of trains to the outskirts of Vienna.

After a considerable wait we obtained a lift for some fifteen kilometres, followed shortly afterwards by a lift to Bruck, which is 150 kilometres from Vienna.  We booked into the hostel, and purchased quite a parcel of foodstuffs in the town for supper and following day (Sunday).  The hostel, although quite large, was devoid of hostellers, except ourselves and one old man!
