Well here I am following the second river of the trip. I am currently
riding a schiffahr, a big tourist boat, named the Kelheim because it
is based in a town called Kelheim up the
Danube. We started in Munich and saw 4 churches and a museum of art
and a beer hall. The next day we rode 37.11 miles through the rain
jacket soaking rain alongside the Isar river to the town of Landshut.
In Landshut we saw the world's tallest brick tower. The next day we
rode a stifling 51 miles to Straubing and we crossed between river
basins. The one we left was the Isar river and the one we came to was
the Danube. Today we were supposed to follow the Danube but the trail
actually took us through a bunch of farmers fields and when we did
follow the river we where on the other side of a dike so we couldn't
even see the Danube. We went into a store with my parents and bought
lunch and we sat at a bus stop for lunch and my Dad and I were betting
on which cars where doing to turn at the stop light and which weren't.
I ended up 39/63 and my Dad was 26/57. We spent the next day touring
Regensburg. Then we went to a campground outside the really small town
of Poikam and camped right next to the Danube. The day after that we
went on a touring boat up to a monastery from a town called Kelheim
and from there we rode up to our campground. And yesterday we camped
in an even smaller town and woke up and rode along the beautiful Donau
Main canal to Nuremberg and camped there and here I am today in
Nuremberg sitting in a brat house and we just finished lunch.

Hi Erich!
Enjoyed your blog. Very good writing! I need to show Jenni when she gets up in the morning.
I'm glad you got to finally see the Danube, and camp by it!
I bet you are getting in really good shape, biking all day. Are you picking up any German words? Can you tell us something in German?
well, more soon! Have a great day and keep us informed!
Rachel (and Jeff and Jenni)
