InvictaMoto's Devall Boys!

3. Tag begann mit einem Frühstück im Hotelrestaurant. After the night we had it was an earlyish start. I don't have much of appetite in the morning but did manage a roll or two. Neill managed more.  I do like a coffee though.  The machine made it to my liking. Luckily. Today's opening visits were planned by Neill. Firstly the Nazi Congress Hall -  http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_party_rally_grounds - and then around to the Zeppelin Field. I did have my photo on the stage where Adolf addressed the masses at the Rallies, but unlike the guy in front of me, I didn't make any hand or arm gestures..... The last Nazi stop was to the Burger King that is housed in the old power station. Check out the photos and see if you can see where the eagle was! From here the route was to the autobahn across the border into the Czech Republic as far as Plzen. Then off there to avoid the motorway road works nearer Prague and along the D1 to Brno. The idea wa...

From Heidelberg we headed along the Castles Route. As before most were very difficult to see or stop at. The TomTom route took us to Rothenburg an der Tauber. Here we took a small detour to see if we could get some scenic pix. We arrived at a gatehouse with some one way system that looked like chaos would ensue in England but the locals managed it seamlessly. We took some photos before we got back on the road to our second overnight stop in the B&B Hotel in the city centre. The hotel was easy enough to find right outside the city walls. We were able to park in back of the hotel. Once washed and dressed we set off in search of a beer and some nosh. This proved more difficult than expected as the kiosks seemed to do food but not beer. Times must have changed.  Once we got a beer it was then too late for the sausage stands.  Seems they shut up around 8pm! After some walking we found a bar with outside seating. We opted to eat in. Once we had o...

The ball has gathered a bit of momentum.  We will undoubtedly use the Shuttle to cross to France. It is the quickest and by August 2016, there ought to be no holdups with incursions into the tunnel by would-be migrants. Fingers crossed. We have a rough plan. Day 1 - late crossing and get on the road to Ghent/Gent in Belgium, stay at YH. Day 2 - long day in the saddle to Nuremberg/Nurnberg Day 3 - in the saddle for a shorter distance to Brno Day 4/5 - local and GP.  Maybe even get a chance to see a footie match if Brno are at home on Saturday. Day 6 - long day in the saddle to Frankfurt/Main area. Day 7 - longish day to Shuttle and home. I have booked a hotel in Nuremberg on booking.com with the usual "pay later/free cancellation" system. After a long day in the saddle a hotel with parking in the centre, where there are bars and food, seems the best idea.  It's not expensive but does charge to use the garage to park the bikes.
