Eurotrip 6, 2017 – Ossiachersee by bike and flight…

Standard

Monday was a mixture of dry spells and heavy showers so it was a good day to catch up on some chores. It was nice enough by the evening to fire up the BBQ and to eat outside.

Today we woke up to a beautiful morning in Annenheim on Lake Ossiachersee and decided we would cycle the 30km around the Lake.

There are cycle routes in abundance around here and the entire route around the Lake took some 3 hours. Not entirely effortless cycling, the route is classed as moderate.

The 3 hours included a stop half way for our picnic lunch and also some sightseeing.

Note for the future – don’t bring so many provisions from blighty as there were many nice places en route for lunch out…

When we arrived back at the campsite, the sun was still shining amidst clear blue skies so I decided to launch the drone for some aerial photography.

A selection of photographs follow, taken by the Mavic pro which was hovering over the lake. Lot of fun but it’s still a bit nerve racking as I haven’t really figured out all the controls properly. It is however, an amazing feat of engineering, both hardware and particularly software.

Fortunately the drone hasn’t acquired the Wannacry malware and demanded some Bitcoins for its safe return to base. Maiden flight on foreign soil…

Evening will be another BBQ I expect.
