Vienna and Bratislava

Yesterday a short 30 mile ride to Vienna which is an amazingly cycle friendly city with dedicated lanes on most roads and a circular route taking in the main sights. Stayed over for the night and did a walking tour......very impressive and beautiful buildings but needs a little more time than we have to spare. Like most capitals its a haven for the rich and beautiful (and I'm not rich!).
Today rode east from the city and across the Slovak border (we'd been expecting guards and guns following our guide description but only saw a car park with weeds!!).
Headed east from Bratislava for miles and miles on a smooth dyke top and spending the night at Cunovo.
The picture is close to the Austrian border and the first glimpse of Slovakia and Bratislava!

Hi, we're still following your progress regularly, keep up the posts !!
what are road surfaces like ? Would it be rideable with 700 X 28 C tyres ?
