up until midday

 It was a short drive down to the small town at the junction of thevRiver Vils and the Danube. Still, driving the car at its steady pace was tiring. Upon arriving at the town see that there was no bicycle parked before the small house. Therefore the collector was not at home. This was sad, but it did not matter much, consider that he would probably be there later.

It is market day in the small town, wander about admiring the wares in the stalls. There are no local stalls, they are all businesses that have come to the market from a greater distance, from Salzburg and from further away. Still, it is pleasant to wander around, and to have a so-called farmers doughnut from one of the stalls.

There is a coffee shop in town, it has just opened. Stop there for a cup of coffee, it seems that the owner of the shop has just started to work at midday. He roasts the coffee himself, there is a large machine for this purpose in the shop. 

The coffee is excellent, it is of a seldom to be found quality.

See the collector outside the café ride by on his bicycle. Tap on the window to get his attention. He comes over and enters the shop.

We talk and agree to meet at his house.

That is how the day started today, up until midday.
