“I love our little tree-house”

We upgraded both financially and vertically into a “cycle tent” (you can put your bike underneath the tent). We both slept really well and definitely needed these rest days.

It’s on a spacious, well-kept campsite with a washing machine (everything went in). The site is next to a large lake that you can swim in.

We are working on a DIY fix for our tent (at the moment that mainly involves starring at the broken pole and looking serious).

We also found a gigantic bike shop that could replace two pairs of brake blocks which have taken quite a bearing on the long down-hills. Unfortunately, they can’t replace the front disc brakes.

We took it easy in the morning and swam in the lake:

In the afternoon we walked round town, collected the bike and bought super glue for the tent pole. There was music and dancing on the bank of the Danube – on a week day:

Something you may not have noticed from the pictures – everywhere is clean and litter free. We tried to remember seeing any litter on the Danube path – plastic bags or bottles – but couldn’t come up with a single example.

Tomorrow there is another thunderstorm forecast so we’ll try to make an early start on 52 km to Kelheim.
