Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
65km, 14-28deg, fine and sunny. What a fantastic day on the bike, great weather, great cycle paths and great scenery, oh and of course great company. A little cool at first but as the light cloud cleared and the sun came out it was perfect. We wondered why it was so quiet on the bike path until we discovered it was a public holiday. However as the day warmed the hordes came out on every conceivable mode of transport, it was lovely to see. We predominantly followed the Main River with little forays into villages and towns. In the main (excuse the pun) the bike paths were smooth hot-mix and superb. While looking for a cafe for mornos at Steinheim am Main we came across a religious ceremony outside a church, the reason for the public holiday. We found a lovely little cafe just up the road where we had a very nice latte each. Lunch was taken on the banks of the Main at the entrance of a medieval town called Seligenstadt. A real gem with 16th century houses, shops and Cloister. We arrived at our destination about 2:45pm and after a quick freshen up went in search of our favourite after-ride treat, an ice-cream. Mission accomplished. Aschaffenburg is an interesting place with a lovely old town, a grand 17th century palace, a 6m high sundial which tells the "real time" both day or night and many great churches. It was our pick for dinner so we chose an Asian place near the ice cream parlour, which turned out to be more Thai than anything else. Greg had a red curry seafood, whilst Wendy had, wait for it .... yes, her favourite - Thai fried rice with chicken. The rest if them had Pad Thai. All meals were delicious. The beer was good too, again!! Night.
