It rained and poured all day. We borrowed some brollies from the hotel, went into town and had breakfast in a bakery. Allegedly we were then the first visitors at the garden show (Landesgartenschau), which we walked through from North to South. Right from the beginning our bike ride was quite hilly, at the end … Read more
Wanted to take the S-Bahn in to the main station to catch the train to Memmingen, just to find out shortly before departure time that there was a problem at Ostbahnhof. So we cycled in and saw this amazing rainbow. We missed our intended train by one minute and just took the next one. The … Read more
Good night’s sleep on a very firm mattress, great view in the morning. Very unspectacular bike ride to the S-Bahn station at Altomünster, flat at the beginning, hilly from about half way. Managed to buy the particular dish of Neuburg, a Wiener sausage in Brezen-dough, which we had as lunch on the S-Bahn.
Very spontaneously changed our plans to cycle to Neuburg an der Donau for the weekend – I had seen an article in the paper about it. My touring bike is still being fixed, so I went on my mountain bike. We took the S-Bahn to Petershausen, through a Munich that was preparing for the opening … Read more
Paula left before breakfast and I then had a leisurely morning before joining the Radsternfahrt in Zehlendorf. The route took us on the motorway for about 8km, amazing feeling! I had to abandon at the Friedensengel, though, to catch my train back to Munich. Due to flooding in the South of Germany many trains were … Read more
Finally saw Paula in the morning, she only got in at 3:00am. We then walked over to the S-Bahn station together, from where Paula took public transport to our next hotel in Dahlem and I cycled the ‘Mauerweg’. Very well done, very smooth tarmac, very leafy surroundings. Almost needless to say, that we arrived at … Read more
Had a (slow) puncture in the front tyre when I picked up my bike, so I changed the inner tube first. Had wanted to get away early, as there was a bit of rain predicted later in the day. Ah well, it caught me after 5 km. I got rained on so much during the … Read more
Arrived in Leizig by train last night, after I had worked a full day. Managed to walk around the centre before it got too dark . After a cottage cheese and knäckebröd breakfast on my room I left early, the weather forecast predicted rain in the afternoon. Once I was out of the city it … Read more
The weather was great again, and on the way back we chose a route to the North of the airport, which, apart from the noise, was really beautiful. You could tell, that this used to be moor area, there is still quite a lot of water. Wit Monday traditionally is national mill day. According to … Read more
National museum day in Germany, and we managed to visit three totally different ones in combination with quite a good bike tour. Cycling to Ismaning marked the start. There we got a guided tour of the Seidlmühle, a former water driven sawmill. We learnt a lot, including about different saws and saw-blades, splitting wood vs. … Read more
