25km, 8-16deg, cloudy and cool with a few spots of rain. Awoke to a nicer day, although the sun was still hiding. Brekkie was at the bakery downstairs; coffee and a bread roll. Headed out about 9:30am behind our tour leader for the day, Gunther. First we visited the town square (1265) of Braunau am Inn across the bridge from our hotel in Simbach am Inn into Austria. It just so happens there was an ice cream shop there, so we had to have one. This shop was one of ...

50 km, (total 955) 8-14deg, cloudy and cool (in some parts quite cold!) with showers/drizzle all the way nearly. Lovely quiet hotel out of town away from traffic and crowds equals a good nights sleep last night. A hearty brekkie with two bus loads of tourists at 7:30am and we were on the road by 8:30. As if on cue the light rain started and the temp dropped to about 8deg. So we stopped before we started to don a layer of wet-weather-gear. On we went into the ligh...

91km, (905km so far) 13-17deg, cloudy with occasional brief glimpse of the sun. A few spots of rain but not enough for raincoats. Another great brekkie and on the road by 8am. The roads out of Munich were busy but as we were heading East from that side of the city we missed the worst of it. Because of the clouds and drizzle it felt cold early and some stopped to put another layer on. There was no cycle route today, just a series of little villages and town to nav...

0kn, 12-19deg, cloudy and cool. The brekkie at the place we are staying, NH Hotels Munich, is impressive. Besides all the fruit, meats, cheeses, cereals, yoghurts, cooked food, breads, coffees, teas, and spreads of every description, they offer you an individually cooked breakfast of your choice. Afterwards you feel like riding a 100ks just to settle to down. However today we'll have to walk it off as it's a rest day. So after brekkie Gunther, Yvonne, Mick, Kate,...

0km (total so far 814km) 11-22deg, cloudy & cool with sunny periods. An excellent brekkie in the hotel started our day. The problem with Munich is what to see out of the numerous wonderful choices. So for our first day we decided on the ones we knew of; 1. Dachau Concentration Camp & Memorial, 2. 1972 Olympics Site, 3. BMW Showcase and the 4. Old City. What a day, although Dachau was very sobering, due to the fact that it wasn't a full-on extermination ce...
