Riedlingen to Tuttlingen

45, 935
We plan this afternoon to take a train, to avoid the worst of the windy/windy, hilly, gravelly, rainy route, but don't count on track works.... So we cycle, train, cycle, train and cover the 80 km. Hey, its not cheating, we set the rules! It's stunningly beautiful despite the frequent showers and there are a surprising number of people out walking and cycling. We have a big surprise this afternoon. Krisztina, our absentee couchsurf host from Komarom in Hungary is visiting German friends only 1/2 hour drive away, from her workplace in Switzerland. We meet for coffee and chat with her limited but very good English and our less-than-good German. Its an amazing thing. A private penzion again tonight, where the owner's 13 yo daughter happily accepts an English lesson!
We have use of a kitchen so manage a very fine meal of fresh Swiss cheese from Krisztina, salad, GF bread (yum!!) chicken and chips, wine and cherry/almond icecream. Sometimes it's nice to eat in.
