In this little Austrian town of Retz, just south of the Czech border, there was an open-air high-wire act one evening. You can just make out the guy balancing on his head, on the wire running up to the rathaus (town hall - you have to love a nation that calls the place where its local politicians meet, a rat house!).
We sat outside a restaurant drinking local wine whilst the artists attempted to fall from great heights.
At the end of the show, there was a really dramatic electric storm and we cycled 3 miles back at high speed, lit up by lightning & laughing all the way - jumping into our tent just seconds before the torrent of rain!
