Well, I did make it to Passau. It was 102km. I left at 11 and got here at 5:20, which is pretty good. I did the 37km to Deggendorf then stopped for lunch. Then the 65km to Passau with a second lunch break about 25km from Passau. The last 15km felt like they took forever and I had to go through Passau to get to the camping place, which was treacherous. So I rode on the footpath. 500 pound fine in London for riding on the footpath. In Europe they don't care.
It wasn't a very interesting ride. It followed the river and occasionally cut down farm lanes. I raced a boat for about 5km. I was winning but stopped for second lunch so it got ahead. There were a few ruins up in the hills and a few nice little towns.
I'm going to stay in Passau for a couple of days. I've had one rest day since I left Mulhouse in France so I'm about due. I'm camping to the north of the city on the Ilz river. On Sunday I'll head into Austria. The fifth country of the trip! I'll have internet there so the blogs will be uploaded more regularly.
