Eating my feelings
September 9, 2019 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 48 °F
When it never stops raining

1. Anchovy pizza (I ate the whole thing in about 15 minutes)

2. Danube riverfish and potato salat

3. Spaghetti alla carbonara. Pasta, eggs, pork, and cream: the highest density of calories in a food that was available after climbing a mountain

4. Fried mountain cheese patties

5. Ice cream, of course

I'm still hungryRead more
Traveler They seem to have very small cones over there

Day 32
Passau and Vilshofen
September 1, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Lots of overnight rain again, but turned very nice by 10 AM. Because of high water we could not dock in Passau. We docked about 20 minutes away and took a bus into the city. Today we did a nice walking tour since our bike tour was canceled because of rain. Because Passau is surrounded by three rivers streets have to be very small and narrow because there’s just not much room to build. Fifty-two thousand of the 12000 are students.

We saw a dedicated bike route along the Danube. You can drive the entire 600km journey from Budapest to Passau on the trail. A nice way to travel unless you are in a hurry. Our guide mentioned that she drives around 180 km/hr on the autobahn. They’ve driven as fast as 250 km/hr with no chance of a speeding ticket…. but only when they are in a hurry.

Bus drivers have a special talent here in Europe in these small towns. Narrow road, steep hills and sharp turns make it look impossible. But they pull it off. Terrifying at times.

After landing back at our boat for our sail to Vilshofen, we were informed that the river from Passau to Vilshofen was closed due to the high water and an inability to fit under the bridges… so back to Passau for a couple of hours before our Oktoberfest farewell celebration. Off to London vis Munich in the morning.Read more
Traveler Your bus driver comment is spot on… I can see myself peeking over the ledge of a winding mountain road in tiny Sintra. 😳 Simply magic… and loads of biking opportunity in Europe! I love your updates folks! Cheers… Janie & Chris

Este comboio noturno foi literalmente um scam. As luzes eram blinding, as portas apitavam como se anunciassem a chegada de D. Sebastião e as cadeiras enfim.
Nem com a droguinha para dormir isto deu certo, mas pelo menos ficámos todos juntos 🤙
Os alemães/austríacos não param de olhar e falar de nós
Vieram uns russos a tresandar a cerveja para o nosso lado, dormir tornou-se apenas um sonho ironicamenteRead more

Day 8
Vilshofen
June 14, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Today we visited the town closest to Hannah’s grandparents, Vilahofen (translated as farm on the river Vils) is a town situated next to the Danube. We enjoyed a leisurely work around the town and also went to the local “freibad,” or in English an outdoor swimming pool 🏊‍♂️. It was pretty cold as the it wasn’t heated but luckily the sun was nice and hot so as soon as you got out you soon warmed up!Read more

Germany / For Erica
August 11, 2017 in Germany ⋅ 🌙 13 °C
11th August 2017
Hi kid. I've attached some interior photos of the boat. Quiet nice but after being on a big cruise boat this is really different. Mostly old people on this boat...lot older. Sometime feels like a rest home where everyone looks forward to meal times. We have done all the outings so far. Bed is smaller then the hotels but comfy. They clean our room twice a day. Staff are friendly and professional.
Must admit the food is superb and presentation is fancy. We got invited to the Chef's table last night (similar to captains table). Got served 7 course dinner.....amazing flavours. We are blossoming.
Tomorrow we have to change ships. Apparently because of the river levels we can't proceed in this boat to Amsterdam. We are changing to the sister ship Ama Venita which is exactly the same as this boat Ama Reina.Read more
Traveler I think I'll stick to the big cruise boats

Day 1
Kontich -> Deggendorf
September 17, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Vertrekken vanop de P&R in Kontich om 6u am, s’ morgens dus.
Dat is dus om 5u opstaan en ook voor onze chauffeur dus: onze Stefaan!
Er staat al een hoop volk te wachten, niet voor Kroatië maar voor Lauwers. In Groot Bijgaarden worden we verwacht aan een 7tal bussen naar o.a. Spanje, Tirol, Karinthië enz…
Alles gaat vlot, behalve de koffie daar moeten we 20’ voor aanschuiven, en om half 8 zijn we definitief op weg.
In Leuven en Lummen de laatste mensen opladen en we zijn voltallig 46 personen in de bus geschikt voor 50 mensen.
We maken kennis met Jess onze Nederlandse reisbegeleidster.
In Achener Land-Sud hebben we onze eerste koffiestop, ik ken deze tankstelle van onze reis naar Dresden en toen lag hier al sneeuw!
Iedereen naar de WC in het restaurant met een lange wachtrij als gevolg, wij gingen aan het tankstation en hadden de WC voor ons alleen! Dit is een tip voor busreizigers kijk eerst eens rond!
En rijen, rijen, rijen maar tot we gingen lunchen in Wonnegau-West.
Een uurtje en terug op weg, vandaag is het veel afstand afleggen. Jess verwittigde ons dat de eerste week vooral veel afstand is en de tweede week meer tijd voor een terrasje of wandelingetje.
Na wat praten met de mensen rondom ons en een dutje, stopten we in Neuenstein (omgeving Heilbronn-Nürnberg) voor een plaspauze.
We zouden een Duits biertje kopen maar in het restaurant konden we dit niet afrekenen omdat alle mensen met een warme maaltijd eerst geriefd werden dus ons half uurtje was al voorbij, dan maar een Jupilertje op de bus!
De rusttijd van de chauffeur gaf ons nog eens de mogelijkheid om uit te stappen in Jura (?), iedereen had reeds meerdere keren 0,70 € betaald en de mannen verdwenen al eens in de bosjes. Aan de rand van de reuze parking stonk het echt naar pis en kak!
Toen het ook nog begon te regenen was het helemaal niet leuk meer en zaten we vóór tijd terug in de bus. Gelukkig zagen we nog een mooie regenboog en met de mooie wolken en ondergaande zon beëindigden we onze dag in Deggendorf.
Het werd niet warmer dan 17 gr. We kregen mooie cumulus wolken en af en toe wat regen.
Om half 8 aan ‘t hotel, lekker avondmaal en nog een wandeling naar het mooie stadscentrum was het einde van onze eerste reisdag.Read more

Day 22
Cycling river Danube
June 20, 2020 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
It rained all night, so we were not too motivated to get up early. Instead, we enjoyed a longer breakfast and left around 9:30am when it stopped raining. We then had another awesome day with tailwinds, so rolling along the Danube was really easy and enjoyable.
In Deggendorf, I went grocery shopping. When I came out of the supermarket, there was a bad surprise: pouring rain and it didn't look like it was going to stop any time soon. Another 30-40km of cycling plus sleeping in a tent wasn't really an option anymore, so we checked out sleeping options in Deggendorf. Lucky, we found Oliver on the warmshowers website who replied immediately after I had sent him a message. He welcomed us in his a apartment and we cooked dinner together. So glad we had a roof and a view this night!Read more
Traveler Awesome to see warmshowers is working in Europe. I don’t think people are that comfortable in the U.S. Today is Father’s Day her. We are heading to ride along the Mississippi River. 😀🚲❤️

Day 1
Nočitev v Nemčiji ob Donavi
July 10, 2019 in Germany
Prvo noč sva prespala ob Donavi blizu Passaua; lep, miren kraj, z rahlim začudenjem sva že zvečer spremljala dolge potniške in tovorne ladjice, ki plujejo kar pogosto po lepi modri Donavi navzgor in navzdol.

Ker me je zvečer zazeblo v nogice, sem hotel obut pohodne čevlje in z grozo opazil, da sem jih pustil doma v omarici... :( Nič hudega, bova že našla nekje kako športno štacuno, kajti planiranih pohodnih poti na Norveškem je bilo preveč za ene same (čisto nove) hribovske čevlje.Read more

Durnstein

Boat stopped this morning at Durnstein. Beautiful quaint village in the countryside of Austria. Reminded me of the old parts of France.
