Saturday 5 June 2010 Ulm to Passau 300km

OK 300km is obviously a bit much to ride in one day, we cant lie we had a days rest and were a bit bored of riding on the river so we caught the train.  Do we feel bad about this, a little.  Are we glad we did it, you bet.  The thing is the scenery was getting pretty mundane and it was starting to do my head in.

The hotel we stayed at in Passau was the oldest one in the town and lets just say the orginal castle was started in the 1200s.  Getting to our room was like trying to complete a 3D maze.  Stairs going this was, then hallways going that, then take another set of stairs.  It was crazy but very cool.

Passau was great, it's a typical old town with streets and alleyways that go in every direction and as they are so narrow most of the centre of town is closed to cars.  It was a bit of a pity the river had flooded, and was still coming up some of the laneways but it was still great.

We had a yummy dinner in a nice restaurant and then back to the room to fall asleep.
