As appears usual on our rest days we woke up to rain. Having picked up a leaflet for a spa and sauna from the camp-site, we decided to spend the morning there. We obviously misunderstood the German term for spa though as it was really just a big swimming pool with a separate sauna area. We couldn't believe how cold the water in the pool was! Fortunately another pool was much warmer and we spent a pleasant hour soaking our tired limbs. The hot spa will have to wait for another day!
After we had been back to the camp-site for lunch, we had a longer than predicted stroll to the town centre. The walk was well worth it though, as we found a thoroughly charming town with pretty painted buildings, narrow streets and a scaffold free cathedral!
Regensburg is the furthest north that the Danube tour boats can go, so it was quite novel to see the different nationalities and large tour groups that we haven't seen for a while.
From now on we should generally be heading south east, hopefully towards the warmer weather. Two more days and we will say goodbye to Germany, Austria beckons.
I'm feeling the cold myself. Houston was 94 degrees F with silly humidity when I left a couple of days back. Now catching up on your posts!
