After yesterday's painfully slow progress I was awarded with some speed today and got to the finish before 3:00pm. At lunch I was almost arrested for trespassing on private property but the Bavarian police showed heart and a sense of humour letting me ... Read more >

If you've read some of the other journal entries you've probably noticed that I've changed the way I count the kilometers. I now have 2327.5 kms left to the Black Sea. This also means that by the end of tomorrow I will have managed to paddle well over ... Read more >

Managed to get up at half six this morning. Departed my very uncomfortable spot at eight and felt a lot of aches and pains for the first couple of hours. The best thing today was the water slide which has taken the place of the lock. It's a very narrow ... Read more >

Monday morning, nice and early I was on another bus set for Germany. Along the way we stopped at Lucernce in Switzerland and Leichenstein, a very small country. As soon as I walked into the hostel, Lauren was waiting for me. A real cuddle from back home ... Read more >

Didn't really get off to an early start (10:00am) but made good progress to the one and only lock of the journey. While I was there I spotted a rowing boat coming towards the lock so I waited for them to get in the lock. The boat was one of them modern, ... Read more >

Arrived in Berlin, Germany, after 10 hour bus ride which included crossing the Netherlands / Germany border. We got through without being stopped but aparently they regularly check people leaving Amsterdam (not sure why that would be...) As we got ... Read more >

Didn't really see all that much of Trier as i got in late afternoon (after yet another scenic trip along the Moselle River). The hostel was really cute with Ikea bunks and pretty coloured walls. The outside building was a picturesque half-timbered ... Read more >

After getting back to Koblenz from Köln - I decided to head to one of the picture-perfect, castle-clad villages i had seen the previous day. I chose St Goar cos it wasn't too far away and i could catch the KD boat (free with Eurail pass) back to Koblenz ... Read more >

Today i took a slow train to Cologne (or Köln as the locals call it - i like it cos it's shorter and easy to type on a German keyboard). Pretty scenery along the Rhine but by this stage i was a little desensitised towards pretty Rhine scenery. Köln ... Read more >

Arrived in Koblenz after a very very very (yep 3 veryies - that good!)picturesque train ride along the Rhine River. This is described in Lonely Planet as a must do and i definately agree. The villages and vineyards you pass along the way are so storybook ... Read more >

Very tired today. Possibly because I know I don't have to paddle. I did so much walking around today that I now have a blister on my right foot. The blister on my right ring finger is also back. Had to stretch for quarter of an hour this morning as my ... Read more >

Things worth mentioning: I managed an eight o'clock departure. By half twelve I had done 33! kms and arrived in Neuburg. At one point I did 10km/h ably assissted by the current. I met Ede and Friedl in a canoe at the second lock. I had a full lunch ... Read more >
