Kelheim - Metten

After a good breakfast at the youth hostel (choice of muesli ) I was quickly onto the route (22% downhill). Weather has been very cool but dry all day. I've been wearing my merino wool top plus
cycling top and coat.

Regensburg was the late morning stop but disappointed : beautiful mediaeval buildings and streets but the city just contained lots of tour groups and a few expensive cafes.

So with a stiff following breeze I made fast progress on the north side of the Danube, covering 125 km in all.
