Day 38 Regensburg to Deggendorf 95kms on another mid 30's scorcher 🇩🇪


Well, that was a biggie.  A big festival at the in-between main town of Strubing meant all accommodation and campgrounds booked out.

Highlights:
First 50 kms spent cycling with a dad and his chatty 13yr old son who wanted to practice his English and a real history buff.  So enjoyable and made the time fly.



Built by Ludwig 1st who loved Greek architecture 



Having a wander around the Strubing festival - like a mix of the EKKA, homeshow and Octoberfest 🤣. Most wearing national dress (that they didn't buy on eBay!) - had thought I would have lunch in one of the beer tents but stepped inside and about 40 degrees and I would not have been able to ride afterwards as I was already so hot!





Tasted this green cheese - beautiful curry flavour 

Having a picnic instead in the shade and chatting with 4 just graduated students






Meeting some Swiss ladies who had been cheering on the Matilda's from afar.






Camping at a canoe club with the same 4 students!

Lots of roadwork and about 15kms of diversions as they are building a new bridge



Big swim in the fast flowing Danube

Students insisting I share their excess pizza and join them for dinner❤️



Watching the sun set over the water.



Great day!
