Day 11 Neu Ulm to Ingolstadt - 108 effing miles

Didn't really feel like leaving Ulm, the hostel was so lovely and it was such a treat doing normal stuff. I really could have spent the day shopping. However we were up and off for the next chapter in the Robert's cycle tour. Kirst was back in the saddle which was a relief and we now have an assortment of creams for every part of the body including a magic cream for her knee.

The cycling went well, in fact, our best day yet, this was partly thanks to a German family who helped us on our way through the maze of cycle paths. The weather was kind to us as well, being a bit overcast, it is usually hot hot hot here. There are times when we are feeling very wild and free and the kilometers are just whizzing by and other time, like this evening, when you feel every meter and you're just desperate to get there.

We are struggling at the end of the day - but once at the hostel sorted and showered you forget and start planning the next day. Sean is still with us and is doing a couple of days for Kirsty. His German is brilliant (or so it sounds to me) and he has taken all the stress out of sorting food etc out. God knows how we are going to communicate in Bulgaria, Hungary etc. Onwards and upwards.
