i reckon you could just about go about your whole life in this large village and not have to go elsewhere. A good range of small shops – decent supermarket, cheap clothes, expensive clothes, buy a car or motorbike, get the car/ bike services, buy a decent bike. Choice of doctors. Two vets. Dentist and spectacles and hearing aids. Nice looking handmade leather and wooden toys for presents. Farming equipment. Etc etc. Lots of eating options. And beer drinking. Summer programs of concerts and theatre. Last night the church was packed for a string ensemble playing Verdi. Tonight the Main Street was closed for ‘duelling’ brass bands. Two bands actually far enough apart that they had separate audiences. One from this town, one from a small village down by the lake.
Not only here, but several towns have vending machines for bicycle tubes!

Today I started to ride (but then realised that the climb would be ridiculous so took a 20km round trip and came home for the car. The nearby hill has a tall,lookout tower with 360deg views. That’s the Schafberg in the distance where I’m aiming for tomorrow.

This town sounds so good. I will find it with Mr Google’s help.
