km, 14-31deg, cloudy but fine. Our first rest day for this tour in a fascinating city with a very rich history. Würzburg is the capital of the German wine region Franconia which is famous for its mineralic dry white wines especially from the Silvaner grape. Würzburger Hofbräu brewery produces a local pilsner beer known worldwide, so there's a fair amount of drinking going on day and night. The Wine Festival thingy was packed. "The Würzburg Residence", (built by Prince/Bishops in the 18th Century) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We enjoyed a pleasant couple of hours wandering the rooms and hallways and being guided through absolute decadence. The Bishop Princes were a privileged bunch. Würzburg is also the home of the oldest Pizzeria in Germany, Nick di Camillo opened his restaurant named "Bier- und Speisewirtschaft Capri" on 24 March 1952. So looks like pizza is on the dinner menu one night. The Fortress (Marienberg) which dominates the city skyline, sits on a prominent site that dates back to 1000BC. Its latest "makeover was in 1631 when Gustav Adolf of Sweden expanded a castle into a Baroque fortress with royal gardens. It is the largest fort/castle in southern Germany. The fortress now houses two fine museums also. We ran out of time for the museums but was able to fit in a guided tour of the Fort, including the ancient well (105m deep!), the chapel, keep and a short section of the 18km tunnel system. A fascinating place of which we saw a tiny part. In addition, Wurzburg has more churches than Adelaide and plenty of museums, galleries, market place and lovely parks and gardens. In short it's a great place to spend a couple of days, although there was plenty we didn't get time to see so will have to do those during our next visit here. Dinner was Italian with pasta and pizzas, fuel for tomorrow when we are back on the bike. A nice early night after a big day on the cobbles.
