It becomes very difficult to recall previous days activity the longer i leave it, and breakfast the next day to blog the day before is ........hmm
Anyway, monday. Set off from inglostadt and the path along the river was wet and puddled making us and our fine steeds wet and very dirty. Cycling along raised levy banks gives great view. Heading down a narrowing valley, intending catching the ferry 5kms downstream to kelheim. Paid for our tickets and waiting for the next ferry when i chanced to read in the book that there was a brewery nearby. Of course we hot footed it immediately.
Kloster weltenburg abbey has been brewing since 1050 and specialise in dark beers, specifically kloster barock dunkel. Fantastic. Had one from the bottle and one from the tap. Sitting in the sun. Heavenly
Had to race to catch the ferry. Made it by a bees dick. Ferry ride to kelheim through narrowish valley.
Heading now for regensburg. Happiness quickly fades as rain sets in. Coat on knuckle down to it. Mark has to stop and strip to the skin to change into warmer gear and a rain coat that actually works!
90 minutes later it starts to clear so we are forced to stop and reward ourselves with coffee and cake. Man that tastes good. Bad abbach town of hot springs. Missed these and headed on closely following the river as we dry out.
A long final 15kms into town then an internet search for accommodation. It turns out that regensberg is quite a long way from regensburg. Switzerland versus germany!
Finally locate and check in and, of course head out fora beer. Watch the local soccer team arrive to much fanfare from the safety of our beersatthe local hoffbrau house
More beers then dinner of sausage followed by pork loin with rosti and salad
Too damn much beer today. Try to do better tomorrow!
Oh... and tummy upset this evening. Wonder what caused that?
