Regensburg is a rustic old city full of charm and history. Being smack bang in the middle of Old Town and across the road from the cathedral was also pretty special. Coming in to town last night we went past a restaraunt and the smell coming off the grill was sensational, we both agreed that would be our dinner spot for the night. We both ended up ordering a Bavarian Grill plate, stacked full of beef, sausage and pork with a huge serving of potato salad (German style). We rolled out of the restaurant, walked around town and then just had to look up to see the twin spires of the cathedral to find our way back to the hotel. In the morning the bikes were still locked to a post were we left them the ... read more

Tomorrow we move to Austria. but today was very nice. Warm and sunny. We drove through some of the countryside on which we had not been before. Being Sunday, everyone was on the roads. So many cars it looked like there had been hundreds of funerals. And of course motorcycle groups, bicycles, hikers and farm tractors. Yet we enjoyed the travel and the beautiful scenery. One of the images you will see is a Bauernhof. A house and barn together. Very typical in Germany and Austria. Some are even in the village as is this one. They drive their tractors on the roads to get to their fields. Our trip down to the Austrian alps will take about 4 hours depending on photo ops?? We will be staying about 100 km west of Innsbruck in a ... read more
