Thursday 5th May

Today is the day. Today we start our ride in earnest. Last night Kim, Nick and son John flew in from Berlin to join us on the first week of our journey to Budapest.

Today I am up early to check the weather and it is a beautiful, clear, crisp, Spring morning.

Wandering back through the maze of cobblestones lanes I came across the bar where we had dinner last night.

bar where we had beer and dinner.

Central to these medieval towns is a town square, a Rathaus or a Catholic Church.

The sun’s early morning rays light up the spire of the Catholic Church.

And shortly thereafter the defences on the banks of the Rhine.

And brightening the sole of early morning walkers taking their daily exercise on the southern embankment of the Rhine.
