In Germany now, along the Danube River
7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago
But it is called the Donau here.
this morning I am in a hotel. Honest, my butt was sore, and it kept raining lightly. It is raining now. I am about to go downstairs for breakfast.
The outlook is for it to stop raining. I have two campgrounds picked out for today. If it ends up truly dry. I will camp later.
here is the link to my journal: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/MonisEuroVelo6
Since I am no longer in Paris, I am thinking its time to let that post drop off.

Now I need a travel wardrobe...
Comments (49)I'm going to the same part of Europe in June and have packed/unpacked my suitcase about 4 times already! :D The one good thing about fashions these days is that many fabrics are very thin so don't take a lot of space. I always find it difficult to pack light so have only bought things that don't take much space. I'm bringing 3 dressy outfits for symphony/dinner evenings as well as 3 outfits that can be dressed up or down. Daytime outfits will be pants (4-5 pair) and tops (one for each day). My pants, skirts, and jackets are neutral but the tops are every color of the rainbow. I couldn't wear all neutral for 2 weeks. Also bringing a sunhat but no umbrella altho that's often recommended. I'll either get wet or buy one there if necessary. Haven't definitely decided on shoes yet but will probably choose from what I have and bring 2-3 pair. I'm saving on weight by bringing only bare necessities in toiletries/make-up. I can shop there for anything I need. It will be fun to see what products are available. We're flying Lufthansa and Bac717 is correct about the smaller luggage sizes and weights. I'm not bringing my carry-on to my set but just a tote bag. It's my one concession to traveling light. My medium suitcase is within their guidelines but expands for any treasures I buy there. I weighed it when I had packed what I thought was enough for the trip and it only weighed 30 pounds and 50 is allowed. Good thing I'm not going in winter! Let's hope the weather is good in June and July!...See MoreWhere are you now?...
Comments (94)woodnymph2, I spent vacations on the Outer Banks for several years and loved the area. I am now in a charming seaside town in Washington State. I recently moved here and have found a corpse. Oh, and did I mention that I can now see ghosts and that one of them wants me to solve his murder, which was over a century ago? In an alternate life (book) I'm a tough, dedicated, hot (and not just beacuse there's a heat wave) NYC detective stuck with an irritating journalist following me around. I don't know whether to kill him or maybe, just maybe, admit there's an attraction. Bur first I've got to solve two murders before there are more....See MoreYour experience with Viking River Cruises
Comments (7)I know 3 couples who recently did the Viking cruise on the Danube - one in the fall, one in the summer and another one last year. They all thoroughly enjoyed the vacation. They also added extra days at the beginning and/or end of the cruise to explore surrounding areas. Two have cruised with Viking several times but it was the first for one of my girlfriends and she commented that her DH was worried about the absence of lifeboats. They usually take ocean cruises where the passengers are used to the lifeboat drill....See MoreDo you hike by yourself?
Comments (45)My husband has a house with 30 acres of woods that he bought a dozen years before we met. I didn't especially like going there but went along for an occasional weekend because he liked it. Then we spent a year out there because of Covid. I'm used to walking four or five miles a day in the city, but out there not only are there no sidewalks, there is nowhere to go even if there were any. My body felt sluggish from lack of walking, so I tried hiking in the woods. Two ticks later, I decided it wasn't worth it. I once saw a bear when heading down our driveway to get the mail. That's about a quarter of a mile "hike" through the woods. But at least there was an incentive -- getting the mail. I wish I felt what people like about walking around in the woods, but it just does nothing for me. Also, I feel comfortable going all over the city by myself. But in the woods, there is no cellphone service and no one to hear me if I needed help. Forget that!...See More- 7 years ago
