The 60 Kms today didn't seem very long so we must be fitter.
But it really rained and was cold and so we were glad that we didn't need to think about cycling in the same tomorrow.
Some observations:
Cigarette smoking is not allowed inside bars, restaurants etc but it is not as frowned upon as at home......one can buy cigarettes on the roadside in vending machines.
Pedestrians and cyclists share the same pathway in a lot of urban areas without a problem.
Ragweg-Reisen should be commended for their organization of accommodation in clean, friendly guest houses/hotels in different locales and with different decors.
Our luggage arrived before us every day.
Most of the young people speak excellent English.
The cakes seem less sweet than at home.
Towels warmers are a great idea.
White asparagus is in season now and is delicious.
A lot of towns (including Passau) have pedestrian-only streets in the center.
Young, old, men, women enjoy beer.
Once again we are reminded of how little we need to carry around with us in order to survive/be comfortable.
The weather could have been kinder.....more sun, warmer, no wet days......but we were prepared and everything is available here if needed (Derek felt a lot warmer with his new underwear top!)
Most of the places we have stayed in or eaten in have some sort of stuffed animal/skull/antlers or the like somewhere in the decor.
Artificial flowers are used in the decor.
Orchids popular....on window sills
CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER ADVENTURE ACCOMPLISHED. Well done!
