Day 2 - Metz to Regensburg
In Regensburg - 325 mls today. Hardly any traffic up to Mannheim, then long stretch of busy autobahn - a bit scary on a slow bike. Chanced upon German grand prix in full swing while in Hockenheim - watched a bit through a gate with all the other misers! Regensburg used to be the capital of Bavaria. It's a really picturesque town - on the banks of the Danube, with loads of well-maintained medieval houses built by rich merchants. Shared a room in a hostel with a student called Martin - in town looking for university accommodation. He kindly set up his laptop by my bed so I could watch his collection of Simpsons episodes after I crashed into the room full of beer, wurst and sauerkraut.
