"Dampfross & Drahtesel" instead of Dolce Vita
Originally, I wanted to explore Pisa today. As this is currently not possible (for obvious reasons), I decided to go on a day trip by bike instead: I cycled along the "Dampfross & Drahtesel" bike route North of Vienna. Continue reading "Dampfross & Drahtesel" instead of Dolce Vita
