Another day of good ride! The weather has been kind the past 4 days after snowing in Salzburg and slowly I am quite adapted of riding under temp between 3 -10°c now. Usually I put on a head cover,a face mask, 2 T-shirt,a cycling jersey,a wind breaker,a raincoat,2 cycling long pants,a water proof long pant, 3 pairs of socks plus a pair of leg warmer and a pair of hand grove. That will keep me going comfortably. Today's ride started at 9.20am,still on Rd 10 all the way to Ulm,passing thru' towns like Zusmarshausen,Burgau,Gunzburg without much problem but was a bit lost when rode into big town Ulm. Just too many side roads,junctions,roundabouts and the sign also very confusing on first time visitor. Setup tent after Blaustein next to a bike lane and a railway line just 10 m behind.

I'd so love to go to Germany... do you know I spent YEARS studying the German language and yet have never set foot on German or Austrian or Swiss or Germanspeaking of any kind of soil!

(Long story as to why!)
