Today was a long hot one, mostly in uncovered fields, boiling in the sun. For bfast i found a netto and got a couple of those pretzelly bread things and stuffed them with salami. Found a shady bus stop. A special needs guy came and sat beside me and then started begging. Later, at another …
Decided to walk to Netto to get bfast. Once there I realised today is a public holiday in Bavaria, some nonsense to do with Mary. Unlike the UK all the supermarkets are closed. Walked back to campsite feeling hungry. Left the expensive campsite and slowly walked to the centre of Regensburg under grey clouds. Once …
Up early, whether I wanted to or not. Eventually went to pay and their great smelling coffee meant i bought one. Today’s walk was woods and roads and residential stuff, but being a sunday nothing was open and i saw no one. Towards the end nearly went wrong by using a bridge across an entirely …
Late last night we finally had rain, not a massive thunderstorm but a heavy soaking. This morning everything was a little cooler. The morning’s route took me back through the centre of Parsberg and so I scored me a nut cake for breakfast. Maps.me then decided I should spend most of the day walking on …
Today was a short day, slowing me down on purpose so that I’d arrive at Regensburg’s campsite on a Sunday rather than a Saturday. The walk was nice. I reach Parsberg and couldnt find any kebab type place to eat and so popped into a bakery and scored two leberkasesemmels. The woman didn’t understand “krenn” …
A better day than the last couple, but it’s all so sparsely populated. I barely saw a person all day. A bit of woods, a bit of road, a hamlet. The nicest bit was Velburg, the little village a couple of km from tonight’s campsite. It seemed full of traditional houses, all painted different pastel …
Maps.me conspired to spend me on a tedious route beside a busy road again. Thank christ for funny podcasts. Two positives today: a young lad was outside his house with his slightly older sister. Where are you going? Austria is sooo far? Where do you sleep? Why are you walking? Why don’t you fly? Because …
Out the hotel by half ten. Went to do an explore of Nuremberg. It has more nice bits than i saw yesterday but it doesnt have the splendour of Wurzburg. Today’s walk was mostly tedious, beside a dual carriageway, lacking in any benches, or a train track, ditto. Bought a hot dog thing and a …
Got up at 6 to get an early start to Nuremberg. Waiting outside Netto at 7 waiting for it to open so i could buy water. The day was a brisk march towards Nuremberg on long lonely roads and increasing urbanity. Furth looked a lot nicer than what I’ve seen so far of nuremberg. Stones …
This Sunday didn’t turn out to be as friend-making as the previous two. In fact i barely saw a soul all day. Also the cafes and pubs i passed were all closed or closed down. The only place with any life was a little bistro (or so it called itself) at lunchtime. I ordered shashlik …
