11km, 17-30deg, fine and warm, some cloud. Brekkie was at the Main Station again; plenty of choice and reasonably priced. While the station itself is still completely operational it is also a massive building site. By looking at some photos they have up and from our limited understanding of German it looks like they are connecting the extensive underground rail network to the Main Train Station, reorienting the lines to through lines instead of dead-ends, buildin...

24km. 14-24deg, fine and sunny with some cloud. Brekkie was far too expensive at this hotel (over A$26 each) so we took it at Maccas this morning. Their bacon, eggs and coffee are ok when there's not a great deal else open. The Boys then hopped on their bikes and headed out to explore some "toys" at the Mercedes Benz and then the Porsche Museums. Stuttgart is blessed by being the home of two of the most iconic rev-head brands on the planet. There's one word that ...

7km, (300km by train - A$17.50 each including the 5euro ticket for the bike) 12-21deg, cloudy with a little drizzle on the way to the train station. Rain while on the train. Cloudy but fine in Stuttgart. Today we jumped on the train to Stuttgart so that we can avoid going over the same ground and to get across to the Rhein River (west) for more great cycling. We left the hotel about 8am after brekkie for a 15 minute ride to the Main Station. Had plenty of time be...

33km, 13-27deg, fine and mostly sunny. The brekkies at these big hotel chains (Ibis in this case) are very substantial and it takes a fair amount of willpower to choose wisely. The Germans like their cold meats, cheeses, breads, jams, spreads and sweet pastries, in addition there's all the English style stuff like cereal, yoghurt, bacon, sausages, eggs, potato cakes, etc. It's okay if you're riding 80-100kms a day, but for rest days it's a bit much. So after some...

10km, 12 - 21deg, fine and mostly sunny. Luckily Regensburg was not bombed during WWII so it has a wonderful array of old buildings and sights; 1,400 "listed" buildings of significance in fact. The city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It dates back to the Stone Ages and the Romans built a fort here in the 1st century. So today we explored as much as we could. Unfortunately the most famous sight, the old (10th century) bridge, was mostly covered up as it i...
