OMG!!<\/p>\n<p>A telephone call home verified the fact, the sheets are still at home. My older boy will bring them to us within the next 2 hours, how kind of him!<br \/>\nIn the meantime we did prepare the bottom of the tent and then head for the registration desk and the technical check of our bike. Only 4 minutes before closure (at 8 pm) we managed to finally finish this procedure.<\/p>\n<p>So we return to our &#8220;tent&#8221;, thus reminding us on the mediocre state its still in.<\/p>\n<p>A short check with junior reveals, it still will last approx. 1 1\/2 hour until he arrives. So we proceed with our preparation of the inner tent.<br \/>\nFinally a call from junior arrives, he had left the highway.\u00a0 We did\u00a0 start our machines to drive to the city border of Eisenerz to meet him there.<\/p>\n<p>I fix the head light on the EXC so we can be on the way even in the dark, but the next unpleasant surprise: Without license plate there is no allowance to leave the camp after 8 pm, wtf?! We had some discussion with the security guy, but he wasn&#8217;t willing to give in. So we returned the bikes to the tent and started our walk the hill up and down to Eisenerz.<br \/>\nThere we finally met with junior.<br \/>\nAs he and we haven&#8217;t eaten yet, we enter the Eisenerzer St\u00fcberl for a meal of Wiener Schnitzel and Gulasch, which wasn&#8217;t to bad at all.<\/p>\n<p>After this, Junior brought us back to the back entrance of the Rodeo site, which provides us with a shorter way back. Still, the sheets are heavy and I am glad to be back at our tent. As it is 11:30 pm now, we silently start to finish our tent, then do some cat wash, and went to sleep.\u00a0 At 1:30 am Junior sends an SMS that he had arrived back home safely.<br \/>\nThe night is fresh but relatively silent, so we fall asleep fast and unspoiled.<\/p>\n<p>Not a common thing here, as we know: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schraegesleben.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160530_093049.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1714\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schraegesleben.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160530_093049-257x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20160530_093049\" width=\"365\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 2 pm I started loading the transporter, a long list of 165 items were at my packing list.
