Sat 6th June

Lovely ride, still following the Danube, from Passau to Staubing. Staubing Youth Hostel like something out of the 60´s with rules and regulations everywhere.
I´ve stayed in youth hostels about 6 times so far, and every time I am put in a room by myself! I´m trying to work out the reason?!

Sun 7th June
Staubling to Inglestadt - got my calculations wrong here. I had pre-booked youth hostel at Inglestadt, and by the time I reached it I had done 90 odd miles and I was absolutely knackered.
Inglestadt is a beautiful town.

Mon 8th June
Lazy morning after yesterdays efforts. The 40 odd miles to Donauworth seems a doddle!

Tues 9th June
Leave Donauworth in rain and head away from the Danube for the first time since 6th May. I reckon I have followed the river for between 1200 and 1400 miles.

Wed 10th June
Great ride through Black Forest roads and villages. Find lovely campsite near Hosslinsulz, situated beside lovely little lake. The warden asked where I had come from when I was checking in. I told him that I had started from Greece, within 20 minutes the local newspaper arrived to interview me!

Thurs 11th June
I pick up the Neckar river and follow great cycle paths to Heidleberg, and check in for two nights. Feel like a rest and need to wash some "smalls" ready for the push back to England.
Looking forward to Pip Squeaks Goulash!
