We woke up all warm for a change. Guest-houses may be dearer than camping but they do have there compensations and the breakfast was nice as well.
We were packed up and ready to go in double quick time this morning. Even the hill that greeted us 5 minutes from the hotel didn't trouble us. The route today was mostly along quiet roads and cycleways with the odd very muddy section. Whoever said mudguards are not necessary, has obviously never been hit from flying debris from your partner's bicycle!
For the most part we avoided most places of civilisation. Only when we reached Ulm did we stop in the town and have a look at the Cathedral (Dom), it's been a while since we have seen a good one. It was of course covered in scaffolding! Ulm appeared to have more bakeries per square metre than anywhere else we have visited, which was great for us. German sunflower seed bread is lovely.
With the afternoon came rain, so it was fortunate that we didn't have far to go. We found the camp-site with ease and got pitched as the rain stopped. With plenty of the day left we planned our movements for the coming days and made full use of the best camp-site showers we have seen for a while.
Strong winds and dark skies are looming, so it's batten down the hatches until tomorrow. Night all.
