We skip along today, it's cold but sunny and there's a bit a tailwind, with rain forecast tomorrow. We travel through villages lined with fruit trees - apples and pears are all over the ground - past fields of corn, and along leafy towpaths. The gardens are full of dahlias, hydrangea, daisies, roses, sunflowers ... There are castles peeping out of the trees high on hills and hang gliders enjoying the perfect conditions. We criss-cross the Danube twice on tiny ferries, one has a piece of metal and a hammer to summons it from the other side. Each costs $2-3 including bikes - bargain. We are towed into town behind a couple who are happy for us to hang in and turn to check the pace is ok for us. 28, woohoo!
It takes 3 tries in this small town to find something Kay can eat, but it's very yum meat with a creamy cognac sauce and the local wine slips down a treat after a long day. We hit the sack at 8pm in our charming non-English-speaking €46 guesthouse.
We are now in Germany.
