Truly Scrumptious

Woke up to a dry if chilly morning. At least it was outside. Having had the heated towel rail on full pelt all night drying my gear, it was nice and toasty in the bathroom.  Glad I wasn't paying the leccy!

Fuelled up, I rode the 4k up the road to Hohenschwangau, which sits just below the Neuschwanstein Castle. After riding around looking for motorcycle parking, I left Ginny by the bicycle park and began the 1.2km walk up the hill.....slowly.

The place was heaving, mainly with orientals. The queue for castle tickets was 100m long. They only have a limited number, so it's best to get there early. I wasnt there to go inside, just to walk up and get some snaps. They have buses and horse drawn carts, for those unable or unwilling to make the climb.

Going up was ok but coming down in motorcycle boots put a bit of pressure on my toes.

If it was busy when I arrived, by the time I came to leave, you could barely move for traffic. I was soon on the road though and after one last photo, was on my way to the autobahn. It was nice to finally be away from those boring twisty roads 🤣

Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Tomtom said 2 hours to my fuel stop. With Ginny cruising at 70, we were bowling along nicely. That was until some black clouds appeared and as I discovered to my detriment yesterday, that means rain. Sure enough, the heavens opened. Luckily for me, there was a service station about 1k up the road; so I was able to pull in before I got too wet.
