Day 28. Gunzburg-Donauworth 66 km

Our penultimate day once again greeted us with glorious sunshine. We headed down to the Danube, which has grown substantially since I waded across it 2 days ago.

The swans flew over as if on cue.
Another attractive town called Gundelfingen
Lunch at Höchstädt an der Donau. Only €3 for a large Prosecco, Sue was sorted!
I was impressed by the attractive bank behind us and it’s stork statue on top…… then it moved! I noticed the bank had even built a nest for it behind!
I understand that Storks normally migrate to Africa in September but the weather here is so good, he’s happy staying put for now!

We’ve really found the German food to be excellent and good value. They do great salads and good sized portions. The “Gastof’s” (inns/ pubs ) are very similar to English pubs. Lots of people meeting to drink beer, eat and chat. Very different to the French culture we’ve been used to.

Another still, reflective day , this time over the
Blue Danube
These signs are every 200 metres along the river. I assume they’re kilometre markers to the Black Sea. (Seems about right)
Quite a way to go yet!! (Though not this year!)
We’ve seen and witnessed the scent of the fragrant Himalayan Balsam along our route. It’s seen much in the U.K. but we’ve not seen it in France.
Was it something I said??
Time for bed!
