Eliminate ICE

ICE is exactly a replica of what the Nazi’s had in place before WW 2. It should be entirely eliminated. This agency is so out of control that only abolition can eliminate the un-constitutional actions against Americans.

Sorry to hear. Hope that doesn’t impact you too adversely

Cape Disappointment

Another very hot day. First 3 are from Mumok (museum of modern art) and the last from the Leopold Museum. A good day to be in air conditioned spaces. (Or a beach)
Heading home tomorrow

Naschtmarkt

Ancient Roman Artifact Wien Museum

St Stephen’s Cathedral

Cargo bike Wien musem

Started the morning at the Naschtmarkt, spent most of the day at the well air conditioned Wien Museum, St Stephen’s cathedral on the way babk

Good ride until the last bit. Goggle maps at the end was absolute spaghetti, ended up having to double back twice. dad is breaking down the bike- will use public transit for Viena.

Tor in Krems

A corner in Krems that we liked, nothing quite at right angles.

View of Bienna fromm the Radweg in

Now in Vienna, rode pretty fast without stops to beat the worst of the heat

Ferry to North Danube cycle route

Castle overlooking the Danube

First day we actually stopped for lunch. Cafe right by the Danau cycleway, they even had a vegan lentil curry which I had for lunch

Winding street on the way into Krems

Now in Krems an der Danau. Passed apricot and apple orchards, and many vineyards in the Wachau.

Ferry from south Danube Cycle Route to North. Castle enroute. Good weather & easy riding. Lots pf time along one bank or the other of the river

The Engelhartszell Ferry. From south side of Danube to North- bikeways both sides, very well signed

Yellow building on the hill to left is our hotel

Very steep driveway to hotel.

In Feldkirchen an der Danau, went through 4 tire tubes before we found the bit of glass that kept flattening our tires. Saved by a really nice guy from Vermont Bike Tours who gave us 3 tubes.

The photo dies not do justice to tbe steepness of this street in Passau

Art in Passau

More art

Our hotel, with garage for bikes

Layover day in Passau, lucky as rain in the morning was a bit brisk, became drizzle by lunch. Jerry got bike maintenance done in the covered garage during the worst of the rain.

Jerry near the Donauweg route around after we reached a spot under construction that was clearly un-bikeable

Castle ruins

More castle ruins

The best part of the cycleway

In Passau. We have learned how to follow detour signs. Only sprinkles, but a flat tire today.

I plan to use the in room hair dryer to dry some stuff out. Worked for my socks & gloves yesterday.

Soaking wet

No photos. Rained all day, drenched. Also, Danube cycleway was under construction for many miles with no clear way around to our destination. Slogged through mud for miles. Did see at least 4 wild deer. Glad to be inside and dry.

Many Hops farms between Ingolstadt and Weltenberg

Near whwre we were supposed to cross the Danube

On the Ferry

From the Ferry window

We got drenched early in the ride while cycling along the muddy packed earth dike along the Danube. Rain mostly stopped by Weltenberg, confusion about how to get to Kelheim and on to Regensburg. The route appeared to go on the Danube. After a couple traverses we asked someone who said -Ferry!

Me in a photo of the landscape outside of Donauwörth.

Danube water lebel is high

Finally some sun so we toured Ingolstadt

Earlier enroute, rodevalong the top of tje north dike of the Danube. Unpaved mostly, this spot had a rail and a place to pull over, most of the rest did not

Ingolstadt today

Much of our ride was like this today. Long stretches through Naturparks, kind of steady drizzle, packed gravel or unpaved. We saw a red squirrel- he hid before I could get his picture.

Not really sure why they have a lobster Statue by the Danube

Rain stopped evening over the Danube. Water level high

Danauworth from the bridge across

Stork on roof on the way to Ulm, city hall in Ulm, big cathedral in Ulm

Storks, castles and am abbey on the way and in Obermarchtal. Had some rain, so missed getting photos of the herd of deer as I didn‘t want my phone rained on.

En route

Stork and nest on church

Stepping stones across the Danube below our guest house

Swallows roosting

A few miles from Fridingen, the swallows sleep under the roof of the picnic area by the guest house.

One of the most non-political and evidence based panels. This is like returning to medieval times.

Test Ride cycle path loop from Donauschingen, wooden bike from museum, spring from which the Daube is said to originate

We start here. Bike assembly begins.

Don’t anger the giraffes they look peaceable but can be mean if they feel threatened

Looks pretty flat so far - safe travels
