Scharding

On Sunday we took the train to the lovely Austrian town of Scharding where we were very happy to met Debbie for the start of our bicycle tour along the Danube River. We have good quality bikes that are easy ride. After we picked them up we wandered around looking at the beautiful coloured houses and enjoyed a meal in the town square. We stayed in a very sweet traditional Austrian hotel run by a very bad tempered Frau.

Along the cycle path at Passau.


Monday was a practice day as we road along the side of the Inn River to Passau in Germany, on the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz Rivers. Here we took the 3 rivers cruise. The sun was shining, the town was fantastic and the 35k round trip was a great success. The perfect day for Joy’s birthday.
