Day 8

Day 8 completed in the rain....we are here in Kelheim in a pension right on the Danube. 
Yesterday was a long day in the saddle ....about 70 Kms...luckily for a kind guy on his bike we found 
our hotel.. a very different one from the others we have stayed in...an Art Hotel....and  we lucked into a 
fabulous Tues. night buffet....in bed by 8pm and up at 6:30am.....we needed the sleep. While it has 
threatened with rain for a few days we have been lucky....but today we did most of our cycling in the 
rain.....derek saw a pheasant crossing the path and we saw deer on 2 occasions....surprisingly because 
we have seen deer skulls in most places including the art hotel. Had smoked trout (served whole with 
head,skin attached) in Weltenberg -an abbey....very touristy.....took a ferry down the Danube to 
Kelheim...overcast & cool but not raining.  Kelheim a lovely little spot but very touristy. Already over 
400 Kms done.....and no problems except for tender areas on the backside.

  1. Did you mean pheasant? Or was it really a peasant?
    We are just waiting to get underway on this end...
