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...

79km, 9-22deg, mostly cloudy, no rain, although there were some ominous looking clouds skirting around us. A 6:30am brekkie allowed us to get away right on schedule at 8am. Within a 100m we were on the Danube Cycle Route and heading northish. It was good to see the boat traffic coming and going on the river; cruise boats, day trippers and barges carrying all sorts of cargo. Our first rest stop was 20km out near a neat little bike/pedestrian ferry crossing point. ...

0 km, (1045km total) 12-17deg, cloudy with the odd bit of drizzle, glimpses of the sun. The last time Greg was here was 2009 on the way from Amsterdam to Vienna with his cycling buddy Graham W. It's much busier now with a lot more people and traffic, both on the river and the roads. Lucky for us we have bike paths, but today we are on foot. Mick's phone started having issues yesterday so it was off to the phone shop first up this morning to try and resolve that. ...

70km, 13-22 deg, mostly cloudy with some very light rain, but insufficient to don the raincoats. We skipped brekkie at the hotel's bakery and went to have it at the bakery where Gunther's Mum used to work in Braunau, Austria. However it only sold sweet stuff so we had to search out a real bakery. Normally they are on every corner but we struggled to find one so we ended up in the deli section of a small supermarket. Empty tummies satisfied we then cycled the few ...
