    The last post

    July 7, 2017 in Czech Republic ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Just for a change we went to see a modern art installation today, these revolving mirrors are mesmerising. The bits all line up to form a head, Franz Kafka, apparently, but how would I know.

    We head home tomorrow after a wonderful journey.

    Just to recap:

    1558 Kilometres: mostly bike path, usually nicely paved but some rough bits. Cobble stones in the towns.

    Rivers: Main, Regnitz, Tauber, Neckar, Rhine, Elbe and Vltava.

    Major cities: Frankfurt, Wurzburg, Bamberg, Nuremberg, Rothenburg, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Klobenz, Cologne, Berlin, Wittenberg, Dresden and Prague.

    Our bikes were fantastic, no mechanical problems, no flat tyres.

    Weather was usually perfect, sometimes a bit hot, only one day of any significant rain for us.

    Villages, towns, ferries and castles: too many to count.

    Accomodation: excellent, thanks to JW's booking skills.

    Favourite food: Swabian and of course ice cream.

    Beer: too many to count.
