We got an early start again this morning and were both surprised to find we’d managed to do 70km before lunch. We had one big climb early on then took an off-road track deep into the forest. The weather has turned really cold today and we had some long, freezing descents.
We sat and ate lunch in Noerdlingen after which we joined the Romantische Strasse (Romantic Street) cycle path.

These signposts are on nearly every bridge we've passed lately. We're both pretty sure we haven't seen any tanks while in Germany.
As planned we managed to reach the Danube today at the town of Donauwoerth. It took us a while to find the campsite shown on the map as there was no signpost. It turned out after asking for directions that the campsite was in the grounds of the canoe club. We were the only guests and were kindly invited up into the club house to watch the German cup final and drink beer with some of the club members. No surprise most of the club were supporting Bayern Munich who trounced Bremen 4-0.

Enjoying a beer in the warmth with members of the Donauwoerth Canoe Club. They advised making the most of the beer now as it gets worse the further down the Danube you go!
