Final surprise

It would not be a complete vacation if there weren't the usual ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) annoyances: Instead of a relaxed change of trains, we had to get off in Leoben, because the train had to wait for a late train from Salzburg - the one we wanted to avoid because we did not want to try the probably impossible to get the compulsory bicycle reservation for that train in Italy. Fortunately, except for the shock of the inexpected, it was possible to take our bikes on that train without arguing with the conductor - and with a bit of luck we should arrive in Graz shortly, earlier than with the planned train from Bruck.
