My first day without having to engage the lowest set of gears \ud83d\ude42 Pretty well flat and alongside the river most of the day. The first part was wandering through the container port and industrial area of Basel. Then I entered Germany which was rural apart from the huge aggregate workings. Stopped for a supermarket lunch in Breisach, noted in modern history for where the first meetings of what became the EU in 1950!<\/p>\n
After lunch I had to turn away from the river and ended up in Rust which has an enormous Disney \/ Alton Tower type theme park. I then made a total hash of getting back onto the river – best not to look to closely at the gpx trail \ud83d\ude41 The German waymarking is not a patch on the Switz!<\/p>\n

<\/a>After 79.8 miles and over 7 hours of cycling with an average spped of\u00a0 11mph, I ended up in Ottenheim at the delightful Hotel Gasthof Erbprinzen <\/a>above Toni’s pizzeria ( 21 Euro for two beers, water, salad, pizza, ice cream & coffee). I asked the landlady if she had internet – she presented me with a shoebox!!<\/p>\n
