Got up and ring p and o who had changed our booking for a later one and got it moved forward thinking we were about 2.5 hours away not the 3.25 which didn't leave a lot of spare time.
Filled up with Belgian LPG and made it to Calais to be put on an even earlier one.
Home now having eaten a...
Left sankt vith busier than we have ever seen it with 15 vans overnighting in various adapted places.
Realising we were really quite close to the Luxembourg border a short detour saw us get 20 litres of diesel in before heading to a new aire above Givet. Free of course but stunning views and at...
If you're reading this then it is likely you are aware of 2 previously failed attempts where Paula has failed in her map reading duty.
The last leg of the Vennbahn needed to be completed and heavy rain overnight and high winds werent going to stop us on the 35 Kms both way journey.
We...
For those that have followed the disused railway line thread and in particular the Vennbahn, will know we somehow managed to get lost on the final section from sankt vith to troisvierges.
We headed to sankt vith last night. A free stopover in a car park with loads of room. The 4 official places...
We picked up route 2 from the C5 at Consdorf.
4.8 Kms.
We were already feeling it with the ups, ups and the downs were not relieving.
You walk up to the crag and stay there. Huge steps, walking through gaps, into sorts of caves, up and down some more.
No water features on this part, but...
First job today was to locate some diesel (in Luxembourg) adblue to get rid of annoying warning light and gas.
1.44 for diesel but 1.65 for adblue hurt especially when I turned my nose up at 1.29 the other day.
We tried to do a bit of the mullerthal trail in March but failed and I hadn't done...
We filled up our 16 litres of drinking water from the Bad Bertrich stell for the sum of 20 cents so added that to our costs.
Again didn't really know where we were heading but followed part of the route towards Daun but hotfooted it from number 24 across to 39. Then up to 36 and cycled to 35...
We hadn't really got a clue where we were off to today.
Weather was inclement, weekend parties would be ruined.
Didn't fancy Moselle.
Didn't know what to do.
Headed off with Bad Durkheim in the sat nav but there was a conspiracy between sat nav and local planners that saw us into the very...
Weather report from Ventusky suggested a driving day today and for varying reasons we have missed out on Heidelberg previously.
Got her up early and it was only 2 hours on the sat nav, and it was in reality.
We made the decision that 20 euros to be 4 Kms away at a stellplatz was no better...
The 3rd of the 3 large leisure lakes in Franconia, Bavaria and part of the water supply to Nuremberg and beyond by taking Danube (black sea bound) water to the Rhine (North sea bound)
We left early and came direct to the lake and quick spot of elevenses/lunch prior to the bikes coming out...
We weren't originally going to stay here, but our day going round the lake, with the view, the bars, the beaches etc have seen us stay.
So good that we intend to move onto the next lake tomorrow.
This has nothing to do with rain being forecast all day the day after that !
The region of Bavaria...
Cunning plan today was to got Gunzenhausen at a free aire and spend a couple of days exploring the 2 lakes either side.
So we left Rothsee and travelled the short distance, but we needed food diesel adblue and beer.
We set lidls Gunzenhausen into the satnav and only a little hiccup with an...
My eye injury didn't interrupt my sleep last night but could tell it was still there so woke her up and went to fill up with water but a German was washing their Thetford from the same source so we left with a dribble of sulphur stinking water next to their van and without water that we weren't...
Wife feeling better today rather than a to and fro route I found something I thought was interesting that I noted on the map
I also saw a blue line on mapy.cz that sort of took us there, so once she had woken up and had a cup of tea we were off. That was about 1100 hrs.
I have struggled last...
Wife woke up not feeling so well. Dodgy paella or too much cycling or change of weather or hypochondria. We aren't too sure.
The plan was to stay another day at Deggendorf and cycle towards Passau.
Quick discussion after the amount of detours we had yesterday was to go to Passau then see how...
We only popped into Deggendorf to go to tourist office but it was a very clean town with main pedestrianised wide street divided by a church in the middle extremely similar to Straubing. Set out with many bars and cafes and cobblestones, but I didn't take any pictures on the expectation we would...
Thunder and lightning last night meant a poor night's sleep and we woke to deer in the field and dark clouds over nearby hills in the Bayern nature park.
But we went on holiday cycling in Belgium in march so grey clouds weren't going to put us off so our Amazon purchased waterproof trousers...
Time to move on from Kelheim saw me waking her up early with the very cunning plan of seeing a Nepalese Himalayan Temple by Wiesent.
Got there early and nobody around. Thought it might open at 1000 hrs but then located the sign saying Saturday Sunday Monday 1-6 and today is a Thursday...
This post is written under the influence of intoxicants. (It has since been adjusted as soberring up)
We set off with the intention of going Kelheim Abensberg (wife looked it up) then weltenburg and back by cruise to Kelheim.
The good news is we achieved that. We may have got plastered on the...
Luckily I wasn't annoyed by the petrol strimmers at 0730 at Ingolstadt, I was awake, so one of us woke up grumpy but that mood changed after we had paid a euro for a full tank of water and full drinking water containers. Because we were only charged 7.50 euros for our 2 nights. We arrived 0930...

In the morning we are off in our new to us van a Dethleffs Trend A Class 7057 I EB which we picked up a couple of weeks ago and in between working 12 hour shifts managed to get 280 ah of lithium with a 3000 watt inverter, fridge fans, an alarm and tracker and pimp it out. Solar didnt arrive in...
Cadenet was in our way on the bike route.
We saw it as we headed to Cucuron yesterday but didn't strike us as a must see, but we stopped anyway.
We may have made a mistake in following signs to the town centre which is at the bottom of the hill. Because the main attraction is at the top of...
Following on from the Carinthia Throughnal the rest of our holiday is no where near Carinthia so I created another throughnal.
Starting from Salzburg where we are staying and visited we expect to follow the alpinestraße loosely to Constance and hopefully Rhine Falls then maybe crossing Alsace...
Its Throunal time, A thread and a Journal. I write a sort of blog, load it up with photos, write a few words which may or may not assist somebody in the future when planning their holiday. Previous journals are in my signature of each post.
I, possibly because I have done a few, find them quite...
It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...
