My earlier plan was to shift to a cheaper hostel for another day in Munich,but decided to ride,all b'cos of a very good weather when I woke up in the morning.No rain no snow,the road was dry and the temp was right 8°c.Started at 11 am, again sneaked in another packed of sandwich from the hostel breakfast,but no boiled eggs this time.Rode out of Munich was rather smooth, following Rd 2 to Augsburg,a real joy to ride under this "perfect weather" just like back home rides of hill resorts of Cameron Highland and Fraser Hill.But the joy was short lived when I rode into Augsburg and was held up for nearly two hours to find the way out to Ulm on Rd 10, no less than 10x I had to ask around for direction. And all of the sudden,I was caught by a police car for going against the red traffic light. Two policemen demanded a fine of 36 euro after knowing that I have a cash of 50 euro. I am really surprised. I thought the police here are well pay and need not to demand cash from a poor visitor on bike! After some reasoning and tricks again,I was left off with a warning. Finally after many anxious moments,I saw the road sign to Ulm on Rd 10, 73 km away. What a big relief! Now to look for campsite as it was almost dark at 6.30pm. Found this X'mas trees camp near the bike lane,obviously belongs to someone but the gate was half open,with nobody around, I set up my tent in between the 8 foot tall X'mas trees,well hidden.Hopefully the owner don't come and disturb at night or the next morning before I left....
