Day 3:
Saturday 29.06.2024
438 miles today as I travelled fully through France to Karlsruhe, Germany. I stopped in Karlsruhe and asked my sat nav to find me hotels, which it duly did. The first one was now only for migrants, etc. and the second one I tried needed lift access to the first floor for the reception but it was closed. I saw a sign for the Bahnhof so went up that road and found a lovely hotel, with safe parking to the rear, for the night. Germany were playing, in the Euros, that night (as were Italy) and one of the restaurant platz areas was showing the games on their big screens so that was the evening’s entertainment along with a pizza and bier!
Day 4:
Sunday 30.06.2024
373 miles today and I headed east through Germany as I was aiming for Poland the following day. I ended up at a place called Bautzen (that I’d never heard of before). The first hotel I tried was at the wrong side of no access roadworks so I went down a hill to another place on the river that looked ideal but, unfortunately, they were fully booked but recommended me another place along t, and across, the river a few 100 metres downstream. Got there and a room was available with private, off road, parking. Lovely! Unpacked and found a bar at the river weir where a couple of biers slipped down nicely then it was time to walk up the hill and explore the town. Before bed I needed to visit the hotel, at the river, that was full and have a mass of dunkel bier!
