September 10th: Passau to Obermühl

BACK

Ceri: When we set out in the morning, we always assume it’s going to be straightforward, and that’s when things start going wrong…. but they end up being the best part.

The bin men arrived in our alley and had to carry/rattle bins from the top to the road at the bottom of our alley, then return each bin to the top again. Fit guys! Noisy too! 6am!

New friends from Manchester who we continued to bump into and shared beers

We enjoyed this pottery museum in Obernzell

Huge hydroelectric power station at the dam

So….. Neil thought our accommodation was on the south side of the river and we were cycling on the north side. No problem…. we crossed over on a big bridge and carried on cycling the south side. After a while we checked our accommodation and realised it was on the north side after all. Again, no problem…..we’ll catch a ferry across.

But on the north side, and having taken his payment, the ferryman told us there was no cycle path on this side (his clue was our bikes!). He offered to take us back (for the same amount) or catch another ferry bypassing the uncycleable section along the north side. We took option 2.
