Schnitzelishous - Day 44

Sunday 12th October 2014 - Up at 8am, dank misty morning, back to bed, then up at 10am, away 11.30am.

Stopped in the next town for food.

Passed many fields with pole and wire structures. Not sure for what exactly, vines of some sort maybe?

More road side cycling today.

Round by the river to Weltham. Oldest monastery in Bavaria. People eating at restaurants in the court yard.

Paid €7.90 for the boat to Keilham. It goes along the Danube through a gorge. Bike comes too of course. Last boat of the day is 4.15pm, so wouldn't have made it yesterday.

Off at Keilham and the sun came out, yey!

Now back to the white gravel pathway along the river, bar a few excursions through villages, it brought me into Regensburg.

It was another sunny Sunday, in a town park, everyone out walking and cycling. Being annoying and getting in my way. The path was quite narrow and yet people still walked side by side, even when they could see cyclists coming toward them.

After about half an hour my nice pleasant nature wore thin. I gave up slowing down or using my bell and just blattered on past.

Got into the town part about 4pm and saw a sign for camping, so just decide I'd had enough and I'd finish for the day.

I know that if it had of been a week day, there would've been hardly anyone using the path.

€13 for the night. Got a wash token for machine. No powder, so a hot water wash was as good as my manky clothes were gonna get.

Beer garden and gasthof just beside reception. I was the invisible person. Sat for ages and ended up having to go inside and order. Then another half hour before my drink appeared. Wouldn't need to be starving or anything!

A traditional band were playing and signing beside me as I ate my schnitzel (2 pork chops perfectly done, topped with mushrooms in cream sauce and all covered in melted cheese, plus 3 hash browns and a plate of salad) and drank my beer, so all ended well!

I have bunny rabbits for neighbours tonight too.
