We were up early at 5am for our 9am Heathrow flight, which we made just in time! We were actually flying into Germany, so we landed in Munich, which is a lovely small-ish airport. That made it easy for us to get our car. We even got a free upgrade to a van, when the guy behind the counter saw that we had a bike bag with us. I think we would have been fine without a van, but it certainly made it easier!
Then we made the 2.5hr drive through Germany, to Austria, and over to Zell am See. Just before we entered Austria we stopped at a service station for a special motorway sticker (which I don't think we actually used in the end, but better to be safe than sorry) and some fresh rolls with salami. Then we made it into Zell am See, heading straight to our apartment.
It was a really nice little studio apartment with quite a lot of space, and we were so centrally located, a 2 minute walk from the conference centre, centre of town and the finish line! We decided to have a rest though before heading into town for a walk around and dinner. We ended up at a restaurant where I had the best dinner - fettuccine with mushrooms that had been picked from the local forest that afternoon, and a local gin made with local botanicals and made 10 minutes up the road! So delicious...
