Best: Finding somewhere to sleep
Worst: Having to ride past some ruins without stopping
The best bit of today was the end. In the scabbiest place on the Danube, and when my legs had absolutely given up the ghost, there appeared a lovely guesthouse out of nowhere (OK, it wasnt super lovely, but all these things are relative). Of course they spoke no English, but a fisherman was having a beer at one of the tables inside, so he translated a few words, and I was soon set up with a comfy bed, hot water, cold beer, and a good nights sleep. The ride had been a hard one with some chunky climbs as each new river valley joined the Danube.
I would like to have photographed some of the very threadbare villages I passed, but it felt a bit disrespectful taking snaps of people on their horses or in their front gardens!
