Drizzle

Says it all really: Neither hilly nor flat, not very warm - and frequent bouts of drizzle.

Tonight we are in the house of a friend of both Calin and Raul. Tomorrow's a rest day, which after 400km in three days we both need.

974km. Highest point today ~1900ft.

Not eaten much during the day. Big meal last night, it's Sunday so most places are closed and a lot of the villages we passed through were not large enough to support a cafe or store of any kind. So snacked from the panniers and another big meal tonight.

However we did chance on a firefighters festival - lots of formal flags, music and beer, all in a giant tent thing in a small and otherwise quite standard village. Probably a couple of thousand people packed in. Every village around was even quieter than usual, everyone pulled into the black hole.

Location:Fröhliche-Türken-Straße,Ratisbon,Germany

  1. Hello there in the Euro land. I liked the windmill photos, not too sure about the actual cycling part however.

    Here's a page I've been checking out today, good info about cycle helmets..

    And here's a blog I read just to know what sneaky tricks those 2 wheelers are up to. I don't endure this blog in anyway.

    I guess if you are going cycle, Germany is a good place for it. A lot of it comes down to space that allows for infrastructure to be built.For example the Germans get about 2.5 m^2 per person (if you divide all the space to number of people) but in England we get about 1.1 m^2 per person and have the highest concentration of people living in cities in the entirety of Europe!

    Take it easy body.
