71km, (total 461km) 12-22deg, mostly cloudy with patches of sun, no rain. We could have easily spent more time in Bamberg, a fascinating city with a rich history. However we've pre-booked motels for the first part of the tour due to school holidays so we must keep moving. After a rather late (8am) brekkie (which was very nice) we rode away at 9am. It was easy finding our way out and onto a brilliant bike path along the Danube / Main Canal. After a little while we picked up a nice tailwind which whipped the girls into a racing frenzy, scooting along at 25km/h. However we eventually ran into the first of many detours of the day which slowed proceedings down to a more sedate pace. Apart from the lovely countryside and water views there wasn't a great deal to see today. We did take a look at the city centre of Furth, but that was just malls and shops so we didn't stay. We arrived at the motel at 2:40pm and after some washing and a shower (carried out concurrently) we hit the lovely old walled city of Nuremberg. Some of the 14th century walls and watchtowers remain intact to this day and being Germany they are beautifully maintained. After a couple of hours and an icecream we were all feeling a bit weary so it was back to the hotel for a rest. Dinner tonight (Stew & Al's pick) was at Ginger Japanese Restaurant which was superb. Four pers had the Bento Box, the others had a variety of salmon, beef and chicken dishes. None were disappointed, both in quality and quantity of the meals. Another great day on tour, tomorrow we explore Nuremberg.
