My wonderful time in Varaždin is over, I feel strong and rested. I get my bike from the locked backyard and start pedaling. I just make it outside of town before the rain starts.

The first kilometer or so is along a big road, but the shoulder is a dedicated bike lane so it works just fine.

The last part out of Croatia is very hilly, not very high altitude just many steep hills.

There are many beautiful views in the hills, unfortunately my camera cant do them justice.

The rest of the day through Slovenia and Austria is rainy and cold. Originally I planned to take the train from Halbenrain but the track is being renovated and the train is replaced by bus. So tomorrow I will have to start with a 30 km bike ride to another train line and take the train to Graz from there.
